While Maggie Oakes is well known for its in-house dry-aged beef, the menu also blends brasserie classics with elevated takes from Executive Chef Konstantin Chakhnov.
Alongside signature steaks, diners can enjoy dishes like escargot toast with garlic butter, bone marrow with morel pickles, and lobster thermidor with grapefruit, plus seasonal offerings that keep the experience fresh.
