Karne

"An upscale Korean barbecue restaurant in the Heights, closed due to circumstances beyond the owner's control." - Brittany Britto Garley

"Though this Heights restaurant does offer meats to grill tableside, it’s not your average Korean barbecue joint. The steakhouse merges the offerings of Korean barbecue and American steakhouses to create a best-of-both-worlds restaurant, with American wagyu and prime cuts of beef that come marinated, smoked, and/or dry-aged in-house. Feed your need for variety with its assortment of Korean dishes like rib-eye hotpot and short rib kimchi fried rice, or try the Karnivore platter, which comes with chef’s choice cuts of meat, plus an egg souffle, stew, a variety of pickled sides, scallion salad, and Korean ssam." - Brittany Britto Garley

"A welcomed alternative to the casual patio bars and restaurants on White Oak Drive, this Korean steakhouse boasts a sleek, modern aesthetic. Diners are treated to an up-close look at premium cuts of beef, cooked over a grill at the center of their table. Choose from a bounty of top-quality meats, including American wagyu and prime dry-aged beef, then sit back and enjoy as a skilled server prepares each selection to your preference." - Brianna Griff, Brittany Britto Garley

"Some places require a suit jacket or dress that says “I’m at an event.” The latest spot that requires this type of primping? Karne, a high-end take on traditional Korean. Prioritize it for a celebratory date night or group dinner involving anyone who takes their meat seriously. For a little bit of everything, get the $60 per person “karnivore platter” which comes with five different cuts and plenty of banchan. The platter changes daily, so cross your fingers and hope that the hanger steak and smoked rib meat with a marbling that looks painted on both make the board (and if not, they’re worth adding on). " - chelsea thomas, gianni greene

"Bust out your best threads to head to Karne, a Korean steakhouse in The Heights. While KBBQ might be the pull of what brings people to this spot, make no mistake—Karne takes the meat seriously. There’s even a dedicated dry-aging room on display. Get a hanger steak or a cut of filet mignon to be grilled tableside, or, get the karnivore platter and get five cuts of the best meat that Karne has to offer (and cross your fingers that the smoky rib eye makes the board). And after a meal as fancy as this one, you might find yourself floating to your car." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
