Live Fire · Since 1987
White oak burned to coals every afternoon. Every cut seared at 900°F, rested on the hearth, carved tableside.
Our Story
The grill has burned every single night since 1987 — through blackouts, blizzards, and three renovations.
Our dry-age room holds 400 steaks at 34°F and 85% humidity, visible from the bar. The butcher block is original. The recipe is fire, salt, and patience. Everything else we've resisted for nearly forty years.
“A great steak needs three things: fire, salt, and the sense to leave it alone.”
