Uniquely combining the soulful roots of the traditional steakhouse with the contemporary elegance of modern fine dining, EPIC Roasthouse takes diners "Beyond the Traditional Steak House" experience. Pat Kuleto’s unique interior design pairs exposed pipework and stainless steel accents with chic marble counters and buttery leather seating in rich shades of caramel, chocolate, and espresso. An oversized fireplace presides regally over the main dining room, alluding to the comfort and luxury of a classic steakhouse meal.

An open kitchen and state-of-the-art exhibition line gives diners a unique view as Chef Jan Birnbaum and staff masterfully sear and roast aged, naturally-raised beef, Carlton Ranch pork, and lamb using a custom-built wood-fired grill and a large wood-burning oven. Wine Director Petra Polakovicova oversees an extensive wine list of approximately 400 bottles, while Bar Chef Camber Lay offers a great selection of hand-crafted cocktails and domestic and imported beers.
