First Impression
The wine list arrives and it hits like the view — 27 floors up, all drama, no apologies. Four hundred to six hundred bottles anchored in California and France, with the kind of names that make steak people feel like they've arrived. This is a list built to impress, and for the most part, it earns that right.
Selection Deep Dive
California dominates, and they lean hard into the canon — Caymus, Silver Oak, Joseph Phelps Insignia, Beringer Private Reserve, Jordan, Dominus, and the full trophy case of Screaming Eagle, Harlan Estate, and Opus One for those who need a receipt to prove they had a good time. France holds its own with Chateau Margaux, Chateau Latour, and Chateau Petrus representing Bordeaux at the very top, plus Louis Jadot doing the heavy lifting on the Burgundy side. The list isn't particularly adventurous — no serious Rhône, no Italian depth, no skin-contact anything — but what it does, it does with conviction. Wine Spectator has had a Best of Award of Excellence on this program since 2020, and that's not handed out for having a Kendall-Jackson on the menu.
By the Glass
Twenty to thirty-five by-the-glass options is a healthy pour program for an upscale steakhouse — enough to build a meal around without committing to a full bottle. Expect the list to skew toward California Cabernet and crowd-pleasing French options, which makes sense given the clientele but leaves adventurous drinkers with fewer moves. Rotation doesn't appear to be a strong suit here; what's listed is likely what's been listed for a while.
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon — $60
Jordan consistently punches above its price in a room full of four-figure bottles. It's the smart order when you want something that actually tastes like Alexander Valley without lighting your credit card on fire.
Louis Jadot Burgundy
In a list that's 80% California Cab, the Jadot selections get overlooked — which is exactly when you should order them. Proper Burgundy in a steakhouse is an underrated move, and Jadot's consistency means you're not rolling the dice.
Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon
Yes, it's Screaming Eagle. Yes, it's on the list. No, the restaurant markup on a bottle this allocated isn't going to make your wallet feel good about itself. Save this one for the cellar or the auction.
Joseph Phelps Insignia + Wood-Fired Prime Steak
Insignia is a Bordeaux-style blend built for exactly this moment — big, structured, with the fruit and tannin to stand up to a wood-fired prime cut without one overwhelming the other. It's the pairing this room was designed around.
🔥 The Bottom Line
Ser Steak is a high-altitude trophy list that delivers exactly what a Dallas power-dinner crowd expects — depth in California and France, proper cellar cred, and a setting that makes every bottle taste a little better than it might at sea level. The markups bite and no one's going rogue with the selections, but the bones are undeniably strong.
