For the first time in Moscow admirers of meat could taste menu with such variety of steaks.
Each of the "Festival" steaks had its own taste features, which make it similar to iconic figures from cult American films. If a guest wished to order juicy and aromatic very masculine steak from the ribeye, he could choose Corleone Ribeye Steak. Recommended for ladies filet mignon from the central part of tenderloin could be found under the name of "Sex & the City" Steak. The other steaks: Mission Impossible New York Steak, Pulp Fiction Chateaubriand Steak, "A Fistful of Dollars" Cowboy Steak, "9 ½ Weeks" Porterhouse Steak, "Bonnie and Clyde" T-bone Steak.
