The Cuisine & Menu
Steakhouse DNA meets coastal refinement: expect prime and dry-aged steaks alongside a refined seafood and sushi program. Signatures might include a wood-fired ribeye crowned with bone marrow butter; chilled Gulf blue crab with Meyer lemon; and a pristine Hamachi crudo with yuzu kosho. The menu is à la carte with seasonal specials, supported by produce from local farms and sustainably minded purveyors. Don’t miss the triple-cooked fries—decadent, architectural, and deservedly famous. Dietary accommodations are gladly handled with notice, and pricing sits squarely in the fine dining tier, reflecting top-quality sourcing and meticulous execution.

Service is polished yet personable, with an eye for timing and tableside finesse. The wine program emphasizes benchmark regions and cult producers alongside smart, food-friendly discoveries; knowledgeable sommeliers guide pairings from an expansive cellar. There’s a stylish bar for pre-dinner martinis and nightcap views, plus private dining for celebrations that demand spectacle. Expect a smart dress code—jackets not required but encouraged—and plan ahead: with over 200 seats and prime-time buzz, Crown Block reservations for sunset are coveted.
