The Morton's in Boston is very good. I would rate it best in Boston for steak, pending the opening of the Palm later this spring. The Hilltop was still there when I last looked, but I do not like it. Another place for Steak and Seafood is Cafe V in Ken's Steak house in Framingham. This is a small restaurant within a restaurant. The beef is excellent (not not at the level of Morton's), and the Plamked Scrod is great.

For a little bit of a drive, try Ron's Landing in Hampton Beach, NH. It is less than an hour from Burlington. The seafood is good, as is the ocean view from most tables.
