Expect seasonal American fare in a rustic/polished setting with wooden communal tables, iron table tops, polished concrete floors, a fireplace, black tufted leather, vintage mirrors & records, books and a photo booth. (I love any chance to get into a photobooth). Not to mention, there is a DJ spinning on the weekends.
The food focuses on sustainable and local produce for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and late night. Word is there will be a rooftop garden for herbs, lettuces, tomatoes, and root veggies).
