Côte de Boeuf

Dry-aged, bone-in rib steak with a deeply caramelized crust and funky, mineral interior — the table centerpiece that earns its price

Raw Oysters

Rotating selection of East and West Coast oysters served properly iced with mignonette — a clean, reliable opener that cuts through the richness of what follows

Beef Tartare

Hand-cut and classically seasoned with good acidity balance — better than most Toronto tartares, served with proper accompaniments

House Charcuterie

In-house cured selections with well-sourced accompaniments — a worthwhile pre-dinner board especially paired with a glass from the by-the-glass list

Steak Frites

A bistro-format entry point — well-executed and properly rested, though ordering the côte de boeuf instead is usually the better spend
