Located inside You42 Studios, High Horse is celebrity chef and television personality Katsuji Tanabe’s flagship restaurant. Rooted in live-fire cooking and high-energy hospitality, the High Horse menu draws from Tanabe’s Japanese and Mexican heritage. The menu plays with smoke, spice, comfort, and spectacle through dishes like fire-roasted seafood towers, charcoal-grilled steaks and seafood, warm spinach salad prepared tableside, grilled oysters with Japanese butter, and “My Grandma’s Corn Bread Muffins” finished with truffle butter. The cocktail program is equally playful and theatrical with drinks like the “Boss Bitch Mood,” “Drama Starter,” and “Thirst Trap,” alongside spirit-forward classics.
