You feel as though you’re part of a club when you dine at 1000 North, fulfilling the purpose of its design.
With mood lighting, dark woods and a high ceilings, the ground-level dining room is encased with a wall of windows.
They offer a full vista of the waterway and floating docks, illuminated by the beam of the lighthouse sweeping past, and the sun dropping in the west over The Terrace, a covered patio bar area.
special-occasion, try dining on The Terrace, where a “Social Hour” menu, served from 5-7 p.m.
Observant guests notice the elevator behind the desk. It leads to the true club above, where membership is by invitation only and limited in number.
But the restaurant and Terrace on the first level are open to the public by reservation most nights.
Created by a group that includes sports greats Michael Jordan, Ernie Els and Wine Spectator Magazine owner Marvin Shanken, the club and restaurant opened in 2017. It was billed as a steakhouse, with a menu influenced in part by Michael Jordan’s Chicago and New York restaurants that bear his name.
The menu has come down a notch from its beginning when ingredient pedigree played a Photo by Captain Kimo Photos provided larger role. Dishes are still complex in flavor and texture with touches of innovation, but most no longer require a server’s lengthy explanation of components. Steaks are still the focus of the menu, with many of the appetizers and sides expected, such as shrimp cocktail, a wedge salad, and beef tartare — in this case, wagyu with caviar.
Diners can choose from other offerings such as the ceviche-like Peruvian hamachi tiradito, or a signature Charleston she-crab soup, or Spanish octopus poached in a court bouillon.
Seafoods include halibut en papillote, and crab spaghetti alla chitarra, with roasted tomato, leek, and uni butter.
From an 8-ounce filet mignon ($58) to the wagyu filet, also 8 ounces ($110), prices reflect the prime meats — and location.
If it’s a bit special-occasion, try dining on The Terrace, where a “Social Hour” menu, served from 5-7 p.m. features tasty cocktails and small plates such as the 1000 North prime cheeseburger, Buffalo cauliflower and spicy tuna bites worthy of sharing at reduced prices.
Open for dinner daily at 5 p.m., lunch on Saturday, 11 a.m., and Sunday brunch, 11 a.m. Dinner is by reservation. Walk-ins can dine at The Terrace for Social Hour.
