Chemin À La Mer Menu

From a reviewer’s perspective, the menu at Chemin À La Mer reads as a polished, luxury-leaning Southern coastal experience that moves confidently between raw bar elegance, classic steakhouse depth, and Gulf-inspired comfort. The experience opens strong with the Seafood Tower, Tuna Crudo, Shrimp Raphael, and Lobster Salad, setting a distinctly ocean-forward tone that continues through appetizers like Olive & Herb Bread, Wedge Salad, Donald’s Seafood Gumbo, Foie Gras Terrine, and Beef Tartare. The steak selection is especially assertive, featuring cuts such as Skirt Steak, Filet Mignon, Bone-In Ribeye, A-5 Striploin, and New York Strip, while the à la carte steak section expands further with options like Black Angus, Nebraska New York Strip, Phoenix Beef Wagyu, Australia Skirt Steak, and North Carolina Côte De Boeuf, reinforcing its upscale steakhouse identity. Main entrées maintain a Gulf Coast sensibility with Pan-Seared Gulf Shrimp, Cajun Spiced Black Drum, Duck Confit, Ora King Salmon, and Grit Cake, complemented by lighter soups and salads such as Iceberg Wedge, Roasted Beets & Burrata, and Seafood Gumbo. The menu also extends into shareable and brunch-style offerings including Pastry Basket, Smoked Salmon Plate, Boudin-Stuffed Beignets, and breakfast plates like The Southern, Classic Breakfast, Buttermilk Pancakes, and Avocado Toast, alongside customizable omelets with ingredients like Gulf Shrimp, Andouille Sausage, Taleggio, and Roasted Mushrooms. Desserts such as Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée, Malted Chocolate Mousse Bombe, and Summer Citrus Tart round out a menu that feels both indulgent and carefully composed, while the extensive cocktails, wines, and beers reinforce its role as a full-service dining destination rather than a narrowly focused kitchen.
