As you may have guessed, this restaurant is all about the primeval method of cooking steaks over fire and smoke. The striking interior takes in huge wooden sculptures and a fire-effect central counter hewn out of a huge piece of wood. The steaks – some dry-aged for 60 days – are a mix of Lithuanian, USDA Prime rib-eye, Koji tenderloin and Wagyu from Japan and Australia, and are served by weight, cooked over glowing embers and rested with care.
