Two Ways We Age Beef

Most steakhouses give you one option. Our menu carries two sections of USDA Prime, because the way beef is aged changes what you taste.

Wet-aged beef rests in its own moisture. It stays mild and tender, and it is what most people picture when they think of a good steak. Our signature cut, the 32 ounce Tomahawk, is wet-aged. That section is also where the American Wagyu strip lives. If you are weighing it, read what American Wagyu is and how Wagyu and USDA Prime are graded.

Dry-aged beef sits uncovered in a cold room for a minimum of four weeks. Moisture leaves, the beef's own enzymes go to work, and the flavor turns deeper and nuttier, closer to browned butter or aged cheese than to fresh beef. You can see the room from the bar, behind glass. More on why dry-aged steak tastes better.

Every steak is cut to order and seared on a double-deck infrared broiler that runs near 1,700 degrees across four separately controlled zones. That heat sets the crust without drying the middle.

Past the steaks, the menu runs from the raw bar through wild game: elk, venison, bison, and pork. We serve dinner Tuesday through Sunday in downtown Gainesville. If you are deciding between cuts, ask your server what is in the dry-age room that night. First visit? Start with how to order steak: cuts, temps, and toppings.

Hosting a larger party? The Executive Suite offers private dining for groups up to 28, with a menu built in advance from these same steak and chef's selections.

Dry-aged beef, a serious wine list, and a menu worth the trip.
