American fusion cuisine, prices aren't outrageous and the food is generally well prepared and service is great. Housed in an old warehouse garage, the voluminous space is transformed into a casually elegant, and wonderfully inviting dinner spot. Great for large groups, and perfect for more intimate affairs. Try the Sunday morning brunch for top notch live jazz!
