It's a memorable and picturesque setting for steakhouse fare, which is well represented here. All steaks are U.S.D.A. prime and aged and hand cut by the restaurant's butchers. The choices range from a 14-ounce center cut New York strip to a 22-ounce dry-aged bone-in ribeye.
There are also classic Jeff Ruby dishes you'll find on the menu. The cold water lobster tail is enhanced with lemon-herb butter. A Berkshire pork chop is accented by roasted garlic rub, fresh herbs, and lemon. And the steak Collinsworth consists of an eight-ounce filet, king crab, asparagus, bordelaise, and béarnaise.
