    Cuts and Provenance

    RPM Steak’s cooking starts with the cut. The current restaurant menu names The Duke ribeye cap, dry-aged New York strip, filets and wagyu from multiple producers, allowing guests to compare texture and provenance rather than treating “steak” as a single order.

    A menu built around beef, with room beyond it

    Steak frites gives a direct expression of the kitchen’s approach. The cold bar, seafood towers, salads, house-made breads and side dishes widen the meal without displacing the central beef program. Parker House rolls and Gruyère popovers belong to the restaurant menu.
