Primal Fusion at Sapphire 39
Primal Fusion offers the most premium meals along with the best in adult entertainment. The brand-new restaurant features a mirrored rear bar and a dining space with 60 seats. With an emphasis on upgraded steakhouse basics with fresh and seasonal additions, supported by dynamic dishes that step outside of a standard steakhouse menu, this upmarket fusion is suitable for a small gathering or a big group celebration. It was created by consulting chef John Dewine.
John Dewine, a consulting chef, has over two decades of expertise working with international business titans. With the fire in his eyes when he talks about food, his enthusiasm could create a feast. It's a fire that began when he was a teenager working as a dishwasher at an upscale Cleveland restaurant. Before opting to hone his traditional French culinary skills to the standards of Auguste Escoffier, who popularized traditional French cooking techniques by enrolling at Johnson & Wales University, he worked his way up to become a lead cook. Dewine relocated to New York City after receiving his degree and worked as the Chef de Cuisine at PJ Clarke's in Lincoln Center until being appointed as the Executive Chef of Nino's Tuscany, where he developed a reputation for accuracy. Before joining the crew at Noir Supperclub to run its kitchen last year, he established 40 top-notch restaurants in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He is now bringing his skills to Primal Fusion as the consulting chef.
There are many different appetizers available, including "Peel and Eat" Cauliflower, Spicy East Coast Oysters with Szechuan Chili Crunch, Black Vinegar, and Stuffed Chicken Wings topped with Sweet Soy Sauce. Fried Artichokes with a Green Goddess sauce and Crispy Capers are also on the menu.

Senat Farms Half Chicken with Pomegranate Glaze and Jalapenos, Pasta al Yuzu, Zucchini Cake, or Braised Short Rib with a Gochujang Glaze are a few of the meal choices.
