The menu

Begin your meal with starters (known as arrivals) like beef wellington potstickers or the crispy rock shrimp tempura (Editor Skylar’s No. 1 pick) + selections from the raw bar. The steak menu includes classic cuts (think: filet mignon and dry-aged bone-in NY strip), as well as elk tenderloin, Japanese wagyu, and a 48 oz. Porterhouse.

Finish with a sweet treat (known as departures) by ordering the tableside crème brûlée or the Goo Goo Cluster Cheesecake made with a roasted peanut crust and topped with chocolate ganache and chopped Goo Goo Clusters. Pro tip: It’s right if you like treats on the sweeter side.
