St. Anselm – Steakhouse
Step into a warm, wood-accented haven where the smoky aroma of grilled oysters mingles with the comforting scent of buttery, golden-brown biscuits. The kitchen masterfully balances rugged, soulful flavors like crispy pig head croquettes and thick-cut heritage bacon against the refined elegance of kampachi crudo and velvety burrata paired with mortadella. Whether lingering over blue crab deviled eggs or sharing small plates in the glow of the dining room, guests find a celebration of honest, ingredient-driven cooking that feels both nostalgic and entirely modern.
