The restaurant is accessed via a bright office building lobby. The restaurant reception area serves as a transition to the darker interior environment. Rainforest Green marble, aluminum, and red oak paneling comprise the limited yet rich material palette. The architects were responsible for all of the furnishings and finishes as well as the custom banquettes. Using an anodized aluminum chain fabric, the architects designed a rectilinear central ceiling element that hovers above the dining room. While views are maintained to the adjacent Burnett Park, the kitchen is screened by a series of wood and aluminum fins, allowing glimpses of the kitchen energy to flow out into the dining.
