Meat lovers will be happy to hear that Kane’s menu offers a variety of premium cuts of steak ($44-$86), including a bone-in 20 oz. rib eye–the chef’s favorite cut of meat–a Wagyu dry rubbed skirt steak, tender, center cut chateaubriand for two, and a succulent classic porterhouse, both meant to be shared.
