$50 GIFT CARD TO ESQUIRE GRILL. This clubby downtown restaurant was famously a favorite of Arnold Schwarzenegger's when he was governor. The heady smell of wood oven-roasted meat permeates the air, and the menu is classic chophouse, from the jumbo shrimp cocktail and iceberg wedge salad to the Niman Ranch rib-eye steak, served with your choice of béarnaise, blue-cheese butter, Cabernet reduction or chimichurri. Cushy booths, a stellar bar and a private room (complete with fireplace) make this an excellent spot to seal an important business deal over a power lunch. Esquire Grill is located in downtown Sacramento, CA.
