Our Story

A true social gathering on all levels. No defined dining or drinking areas, just one sleek, flowing space that invites interaction and generates energy. Clusters of guests share small plates and lively conversation over cocktails and craft beers at the bar. At a candlelit table, a more intimate conversation is shared over a crisp wine. The design is distinctly modern, with curving lines and a mix of textures. The effect is at once elegant and inviting. As is the menu.

Updated American cuisine - seasonal, comfortable and refined. From shareable small bites to full entrees, to fit every appetite, every moment. All so very social.
