Best Martini

Sullivan's Steak House

In order to assure that our readers' choices are valid ones, the Weekly staff needed to do some research on the martinis at Sullivan's Steak House. First, we sipped the pineapple-infused Finlandia vodka number called The Knockout. Then it was on to the Lemon Drop, a sweet mixture of Belvedere citrus vodka, triple sec and lemon juice served in a sugar-rimmed glass. We think there was one with Ketel One vodka and three blue-cheese-stuffed olives. After that, the sexy bar room took on a bit of a blur. Too bad it wasn't Thursday night, when the signature martinis cost a mere $5. Further research is needed, but that will have to wait until we recover from this hangover.
