Bogert's Chop House, Fort Myers

If you're in the mood for red meat, then that's the specialty at Bogert's Chicago Chop House. For starters, try the crab cakes, with orange coconut butter sauce. The prime beef is dry-aged, hand-cut, and seared before grilling. One of the most popular is the Big Daddy, a 16-ounce New York strip topped with lobster. The wine list is considered one of the best in the area. Reservations are suggested. There's a non-smoking section in the dining room. Another location is in The Ship on South Tamiami Trail in Bonita Springs.
