Axios Austin is an Axios company.

Maie Day opened its doors Sunday, offering a menu of steakhouse items with a trendy twist at the former Central Standard site on South Congress.

The big picture: The restaurant is a concept from two Austin companies: New Waterloo and MaiB Hospitality. Michael Fojtasek, founder and executive chef of MaieB Hospitality, serves as Maie Day's executive chef.

What they're saying: "The intention behind Maie Day's interiors is to bring warmth to the space and allow the food and the people to shine above all else," New Waterloo designer Olenka Hand said in a statement.

The menu: There's no shortage of meat to choose from, including prime rib, rib-eye, pork chops, a butcher's steak, half a chicken and more.

Start with the oysters, a selection of six from the east, west and Gulf served with Tabasco mignonette and lemon.

Try the "Framboise Au Poivre," with black pepper-infused Wild Turkey 101 rye, lemon, raspberry syrup and Peychaud’s bitters.

Hours: 3-10pm daily with brunch coming soon. Make a reservation online.
