BRINE’s new location will offer a similar feel to its prior space including exposed brick, a sleek, stainless and Carrera marble bar, industrial lighting and furnishings that make the fresh fish and butchered meats the focal element. Guests will also enjoy an extended steak menu, complementing the oyster and crudo offerings.

BRINE features a daily selection of Ceviche, Crudo — fresh Bivalves, Tartare, Sashimi, Carpaccio — Cotton, Brandade, and Espumas in addition to select prime cuts and butchered chops.
