We’re bringing back these specials for another weekend (April 2-4)!! Here are some extra details about each dish:

Catch of the Week (East Coast Halibut):

Prized for its clean, delicate flavor and firm, flaky texture, East Coast halibut is a true cold-water delicacy. Harvested from the icy North Atlantic, this lean yet succulent fish responds beautifully to classic techniques like pan-searing.

Steak of the Week (Prime Black Angus Filet Mignon):

Not all Angus is created equal—our beef is Certified Angus Beef®, selected from a small group of cattle meeting the highest standards of marbling, tenderness, and consistency. Each cut is carefully evaluated to ensure exceptional flavor and a naturally juicy, buttery texture.
