Shula's serves "Prime" grade meat. Yachtsman advertises one single cut of steak that is Prime. The rest is "Choice". All the steaks at Le Cellier are "Choice". Prime is as good as it gets (though Shula's claims that their "Shula's Cut" is a "higher grade of Prime" but I haven't noticed any difference.) So if you are looking for the best quality meat, there can be no debate. It is at Shula's. Whether you will like Yachtsman just as much can only be determined by you. But when in doubt, a good rule of thumb is to judge a steakhouse by the quality of meat realizing that you pay more for Prime. That said, Yachtsman is every bit as expensive as Shula's, though they do throw in the sides for the price of their meals if that matters. At Shula's, sides are all ordered a la carte.
