“Unexpected flavors forged from nature and mingled with flourish. Vibrant herbs grown as close to home as it gets (they’re from the rooftop garden). The freshest ingredients responsibly sourced both near and far.

This is modern bistronomy–casual fine dining where experimentation becomes the everyday. Experience cuisine that’s constantly evolving in a setting that’s forever inviting. Drink with delight at the bar. Make the menu your own. Let the exploration unfold.”
