Starting at the raw bar Penn District counter, the chilled platter arrives without standard crushed-ice fillers. The kitchen dresses daily oysters with fermented cucumber juice and grated horseradish. Shaved yellowtail sits in preserved kumquat ponzu, offering high acidity that prepares the palate for the richer courses ahead.
The steak roster centers on two major offerings:
- The 40-Day Dry-Aged Bone-In Ribeye ($98): Seared over open coals, delivering a caramelized crust with distinct blue cheese and hazelnut aromas from the aging locker.
- The Peppercorn-Crusted Strip ($74): Coated in cracked green and black tellicherry peppercorns, deglazed with cognac, and finished with house-rendered tallow.
Drinkers at the central bar find a cocktail list built around speed and depth. Craft cocktails Penn Station travelers normally seek out require trekking downtown to Greenwich Village or the Lower East Side. Here, the beverage directors deliver balanced classics: a draft martini poured at 26 degrees Fahrenheit garnished with house-pickled ramps, and a rye-heavy Old Fashioned infused with smoked maple and sarsaparilla bitters.
