Food & Drink
The menu is a well-rounded celebration of surf and turf. Start with shareable plates like Lobster Mac & Cheese, Crab Dip, or Oysters on the Half Shell. For mains, the Dry-Aged Ribeye and Prime NY Strip are seared to perfection, while seafood dishes like Blackened Mahi Mahi and Sesame-Crusted Ahi Tuna deliver fresh, well-seasoned flavors.
