Marbling you can see
From Japanese A5 wagyu to prime kalbi, the fat is the flavor. Watch it melt on the grate.
Our Purveyor
Julia Child’s butcher.
Our meat comes from Savenor’s Butcher & Market, a Cambridge institution since 1939 and the butcher Julia Child trusted for decades.
Since 1939
A Cambridge institution.
Savenor’s opened in Cambridge in 1939 as a gourmet butcher shop and grocer with one goal: the finest meat they could find.
More than eighty years later, it’s still a neighborhood butcher at heart, with shops in Cambridge and on Beacon Hill. They practice whole-animal butchery and supply many of Boston’s best restaurants.
That’s the counter our meat comes from.

The Julia Child connection
Before she was famous, she shopped here.
Julia Child was a loyal Savenor’s customer long before she became a household name.
When she brought French cooking to American kitchens on The French Chef, the meat came from Savenor’s, for the show’s entire eleven-year run. Her friendship with butcher Jack Savenor became part of Boston food lore, and Savenor’s has been known as “Julia Child’s butcher” ever since.

Why it matters
At a grill table, nothing hides the meat.
Yakiniku is simple on purpose: a hot grill, a quick sear, and a dip of sauce. There’s no braise or heavy gravy to cover for an average cut. That’s why we partner with Savenor’s.
Seconds, not hours
Thin slices cook in moments at your table, so every cut has to be good enough to eat almost as-is.
A partner we trust
Working with a butcher with eighty-plus years of standards behind it lets us focus on the grill and the hospitality.
