CLOSED Fire in 2008, now open in new location in North Beach. The steakhouse genre's classic components -- open kitchen, red meat, yeasty sourdough, and a hint of Italy -- are alive and thriving at this darkly handsome six-decades-old-and-counting landmark. Sit at the counter and watch the flames leap as the unflappable range chefs grill house-butchered steaks, burgers, and chops and cook up an exemplary Joe's Special. The pastas and vegetables are on the overcooked side, but the ice-cold martinis make up for them.
