What to Order at Screaming Eagle

The grouper wrapped in bacon with Cajun cream sauce is a must-order. Caribbean lobster with aioli and charred lemon is equally excellent. For example, the beef tenderloin with table-side garlic mash is a crowd-pleaser. The lychee martini has its own fan base. The sommelier’s wine pairings are worth taking.

Tips for Your Visit

Book via the official website. Check hours before visiting as they are seasonal. However, weeknights are more intimate than weekends. A cigar selection is available to take away.
