Our kitchen prepares shellfish, nuts and sesame, and allergen cross-contact may occur — tell your Keeper about any allergies or dietary restrictions.
Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.
Dinner is served from 5 PM. The kitchen menu runs from appetizers to a 24 oz prime bone-in ribeye for the table; the bar menu is an original cocktail and mezcal programme, with a zero-proof list for anyone not drinking. Prices in US dollars.
