Celebrated restaurateur, Julien Gremaud, has added to his growing portfolio of restaurants with opening of of Pink Steak. Pink Steak is the third venture for Gremaud, who also owns and operates Avocado Grill and Avocado Cantina. Located at 2777 S. Dixie Highway, the steakhouse will offer Gremaud’s interpretative take on the traditional steakhouse fare with Florida-adapted recipes, and a fine dining experience executed by Executive Chef Aaron Black.
Inspired by the lively spirit of Palm Beach’s sister city Miami and celebrating Florida, Pink Steak is all about the dining experience. Drinks begin at a beautiful wrap-around bar with a selection of signature cocktails like the Pink Flamingo Martini, perfectly shaken fig-infused vodka, a pomegranate and grapefruit cordial and lime juice. Dinner continues in the 120-seat interior dining room, anchored by a larger-than-life 15-foot brass flamingo statue, set amongst dazzling hues of pink and emerald green banquettes.
Menu openers set the pace with a grand selection of caviars and seafood tower-options. Other choices include a selection of Salads, with a Chophouse Cesar offering a forward-take with wood-grilled romaine, Signature Rolls, Hot starters, and an interpretative “Raw-Ish Bar” with selections of Tuna Cones, Tiger Shrimp Cocktail, Beef Tartare and a Hamachi Crudo, elevated by the rich interplay of ramps, avocado, and saffron vinaigrette.
The focal point of the menu is a curated selection of Steaks & Chops that highlight various cuts and marbling intensities. Cuts range from a lean Filet to a classic NY Strip, a primal cut Ribeye and two different types of Wagyu, to a nutty Dry-Aged Bone-In NY Tomahawk. At the diner’s preference, each cut is either wood-grilled to perfection over hickory wood or enhanced with a signature Pink Steak coffee-rub. An additional layer of culinary glam can be supplemented with the addition of “surf” options of crab and lobster, a choice of seared foie gras, or the accompaniment of house made sauces and garnishes.
Composed standouts include a Maine Lobster Risotto, a Free Range Chicken and dubbed the “kobe of the sea,” a Miso-Glazed Verlasso Salmon. Gremaud’s Floridian-focus shines with local-where-possible, vegetable-centric sides like Broccoli Rabe with pickled sweet corn and parsley gremolata, Miso-Glazed Eggplant, and Roasted Cauliflower with labneh and walnut dukkah.
Dessert is served up two-ways at Pink Steak. An enjoyable selection of finishes are prepared in-house daily and range from the traditional brûléed banana tiramisu to a more whimsical , merengue yuzu pie. Guests can also quite literally soak up a selection of signature cocktails with a Cafe Old Fashioned with high proof bourbon, creme de cacao, espresso and black walnut bitters or embrace the evening’s progression with bottle service.
Whether the experience is inside or enjoyed on the expansive 55-seat outdoor patio, all corners of the restaurant are perfectly paired with the DJ whose booth is intentionally situated inside the open-style kitchen.
