In this setting, you'd expect the food to be beside the point, but Chapter Eight's chef, Eddy Shin (formerly of Nick & Stef's steakhouse downtown), has some interesting ideas. He approaches the steakhouse menu with such a measure of creativity and earnestness that you really want to like everything. In fact, his simplest dishes work best.
