Harry’s Rib Steak ($65) served with bone in is wet aged 28 days then dry aged three weeks at Barberian’s; USDA grade and hit with a little of Barberian’s signature steak spice, like most everything here. Moist and blush pink inside with an almost crispy golden brown crust, the perfectly bal- anced seasoning of sea salt, herbs and spic- es, garlic and onion is the final stroke of a masterpiece. Fluffy, salty, hand-cut fries and a classic blistered tomato accompany. Fancy Mushrooms ($9) gracefully accom- pany the main event, shiitake and maitake, given a straight-up sautee with butter and garlic that brings out their earthy fragrance and smooth, creamy texture. There are typically two whole fish served on the bone and a filet available every day as well, say, orata and rainbow trout. They also do oysters on the charcoal grill. 21
