wow! factor
The modern simplicity of materials juxtaposed with the dynamic specialty lighting are considered focal elements in the expo kitchen, main bar area and atrium dining room. The materials include the use of warm woods as well as a "fish scale" inspired installation of quartzite tiles that flow seamlessly from inside to out.

a coastal residential feel
The goal when planning the space was to have a guest connection to the kitchen upon arrival. With this in mind, an impressive showcase of seafood is prominently displayed at the corner of the expo kitchen which is set behind large expanses of floor to ceiling glass at the entryway. In addition, a prominent custom designed wood burning oven clad in black steel, stainless and brass accents act as a backdrop to the seafood and overall entry experience.

"see and be seen"
The client was interested in having a buzz to the restaurant that was also conductive to intimate conversations among the guests. For an active experience, guests may enjoy the main bar, raised dining and lounge areas. The airy atrium is designed for guests to get the feel of dining outdoors without being exposed to the Arizona climate.

distinctive dining areas
For a more intimate dining experience within the restaurant, guests may choose to have a large party dining event at one of the three private dining rooms. The rooms have the ability to be opened into one large event space or broken into three separate rooms.

apart from the action
A dining bar set apart from the action of the main bar is an excellent option for a more casual dining experience. In addition, the restaurant includes six private intimate dining booths.
