Tom Colicchio's Heritage Steak

The menu focuses entirely on meats prepared over an open flame using a charcoal grill, wood-burning oven and a Grillworks Infierno, a versatile grill that also serves as a hearth, smoker, broiler and more. Colicchio uses a variety of specialized cooking methods when preparing the restaurant's antibiotic-free meats, including Brandt Beef and Snake River Farms, which he sources from ranchers across the United States. Dishes include a New York Strip Steak with Pepper Chutney Bordelaise and Duck Breast with Duck Chorizo and Smoked Peaches along with a robust selection of seasonal side dishes to accompany menu selections.
