With Marble Score 4-5 it’s personal.
This is the steak you eat by candle light, with the music on, by yourself. No distractions, no hurry, just you and the steak. For most people at First Light this is the one. That’s enough said about 4-5.

Marble Score 6-8 grass–fed Wagyu steaks are very, very special.
