The elegance and sophistication of the decor complements some of the best-tasting steaks and chops you'll find anywhere. All of their cuts are either certified prime-grade or in the top 10% of the choice grade. And they're all expertly prepared. Choose from whether traditional steaks done right or less traditional favorites, such as Beef Tenderloin Stuffed with Wild Mushrooms, Sirloin Encrusted in Black Pepper with a Shallot Brandy Cream Sauce, or a Mixed Grill of Filet Mignon, Confit of Duck and Blackened Shrimp.
