A new customer visiting Mt. Shasta said, "I love sushi, but I saw a New York steak on the menu. Since I live in New York City and have eaten the finest steaks in the best New York steak houses, I was curious what a small restaurant in Mount Shasta would offer as a New York steak.I don't say this lightly. This steak was the best I have ever had. My reality has been shaken."
