About The 1515 Chophouse & Bar
With an Old Shanghai
movie vine combined with Classic American bar and grill décor, The 1515 West,
Chophouse & Bar is accented by touches from Shanghai’s black and white
movie era.
Diners entering The
1515 West will be greeted by the smell of freshly baked bread from two large
vintage cast iron ovens. A comprehensive range of artisan cheese and
cut-to-order small goods from the Charcuterie Room complements the bakery.
Meat lovers will be
delighted by the restaurant’s generous portioning philosophy. The restaurant features The 1515 West
signature brand Australian beef, dry aged for 45 days. The beef comes in four cuts handpicked by
Executive Chef. The house butcher
presents signature prime cuts which are cut and weighed on an old-fashioned
scale on the table and sent straight to the grill.
The Tasting Bar
provides fresh oysters and seafood from around the world. Champagnes, vermouths, sherries, white wines
and a cellar featuring a selection of New World wines and Reds ensure that our
Wine Sommelier always has the recommendations at hand.
The main bar is in
classic New York style and provides views of the piazza and the former resident
of Chairman Mao Zedong. It offers
Shanghai’s beverage selection of classic and unique spirits from which a
team of skilled bartenders will produce premium drinks and cocktails for
guests.
