Newest to the aged-and marbled scene, Ascend Prime Steak & Sushi offers 360-degree views from the 31st floor of Lincoln South Tower—a proper pairing for some of the world’s greatest steaks, including A5 Wagyu from Japan, crossbreed Wagyu from Australia, and dry-aged American Prime. Customize the cut with an enhancement (or two) like roasted bone marrow with mushroom chimichurri, king crab legs with uni-yuzu mayo, or seared foie gras with miso demi-glace.
