What to Order
Braised Beef / Beef Shortrib
This tender beef dish is slow-cooked to perfection, falling apart with rich flavor. It's a consistently praised main course.
"The braised beef was outstanding, tender and falling apart just as it should be."
Camille Brunet-Sherwood
Steak & Frites
A classic done right, featuring a perfectly cooked steak, often described as succulent and melting in your mouth, served with crispy fries.
"The most popular was the Steak&Frites medium rare. It was done to perfection! It was not your average striploin for sure! Melted in your mouth."
Vincent
Yellowfin Tuna Crudo / Ahi Tuna
A fresh and delicate appetizer, this tuna crudo is known for its complex flavors, artistic presentation, and outstanding quality.
"The yellowfin tuna crudo was an outstanding starter (we also had the arancini and the fried cauliflower salad)."

Scallops & Pork Belly
This appetizer pairs perfectly seared scallops with rich pork belly, creating a delicious and fresh combination.
"The scallop app was delicious and very fresh."
Leanne Luo
Roasted Cauliflower / Fried Cauliflower Salad
A surprisingly delicious vegetable dish, this cauliflower is prepared in a way that makes it a standout, often described as incredibly flavorful.
"The most delicious thing though was the roasted cauliflower dish, I don't know how cauliflower could be this delicious but trust me-- I'm still thinking about it!!"

Banoffee Pie
