The menu at Beatrix is thoughtfully curated with standout dishes that entice the senses. Imagine savoring the Parmesan Crusted Whitefish—crisply golden on the outside with tender, flaky fish inside—paired perfectly with a glass of carefully selected wine. Vegetarians and health-conscious diners will delight in the Mushroom Quinoa Burger with Swiss, which offers rich, earthy flavors in every bite. For a brunch favorite, the Smashed Avocado Toast and fluffy Lemon Pancakes are light yet indulgent, each bite bursting with freshness and a hint of zest.

Not to be missed is the Shakshouka, a vibrant, spiced egg dish that bursts with Mediterranean warmth, or the slow-braised Strip Steak Chimichurri, where tender, savory meat meets herby, bright chimichurri sauce. For those craving heartier fare, the Prime Burger and Slow-Braised Short Ribs deliver satisfying richness, while the sides—from crispy Golden Hash Browns to savory Brown Sugar Bacon—round out the meal beautifully.

Beatrix also shines with its dessert and beverage offerings. The “OH My Caramel Pie” promises a decadent, buttery sweetness that’s the perfect finale, while the coffee and juice bars feature meticulously crafted drinks such as cappuccinos, macchiatos, and a vibrant selection of fresh-squeezed juices like Pomegranate & Passion Fruit and Power Greens. The cocktail program is equally impressive, with crowd favorites like the Spicy Bloody Mary adding a bold, invigorating kick to your dining experience.
