What to Order
Wagyu Beef
A premium beef dish, generously portioned and expertly prepared, often recommended for sharing due to its size.
"The wagyu beef is enough for 2-3 people to share. Ypu order separate side dishes that also feeds 2-3 people. It was on par with the wagyu I ate at a Wolfgang Pucks Spago in Vegas. Its a must try."
Vanessa Patterson
Porterhouse Steak
A perfectly cooked and seasoned steak, known for its flavor and quality, often served without the need for additional sauces.
"The porterhouse steak is also exceptionally cooked and seasoned. This place knows how to cook meat."
Vanessa Patterson
Seafood Tower
A grand platter featuring a variety of fresh seafood, including both hot and cold selections like lobster, calamari, tuna, and oysters.
"We ordered the seafood tower, which gives you the best of both worlds: hot and cold. Lobster, calamari, fresh tuna, oysters, fish tacos, so much variety, and everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful."

Deviled Eggs
A standout appetizer, these deviled eggs are praised for their rich flavor, often featuring bacon and jalapeño.
"My anticipation built as I finished my mini shareable. Then the steak and eggs arrived, decadent, juicy, lightly salted, the steak with a simple runny egg, sourdough slice and taters satiated my carnal hunger."
Daniel Mabalot
