“Our food hall is all about quality local food with provenance. Here you will find the best of house made items and locally sourced ingredients, presented in a communal atmosphere. Our menu items are best enjoyed shared, passed around the table. The possibility exists to meet someone new, whether to strike up a conversation or share recommendations over what to order. Our mix of cuisine is eclectic and inspired, but rest assured there is no “bad” seat in the house since you can order anything from anywhere.”

If a table is not available, it’s also fun to sit in their bar-like sitting area, especially if there are just two of you. Trust me, their table for two won’t fit all your orders if you eat as much as I do.

Crunchy seemingly garden-fresh vegetables bring the taste of spring to the table. We trust that the vinaigrette and yogurt are low-calorie dressing and it pulls all the ingredients together. The feta cheese and philo triangle adds a pleasant salty shade to the salad. It was a great side and balancer for the meat we ordered.

Tuna Tartare P280

Marinated sushi grade tuna, crispy marmalade shrimp, finished with scallion cream

The tuna tartare was marinated but not cured enough to kill the fresh taste. I love the textures and the slight heat. Other than the scallion cream, the serving dish was dotted with red blotches of what I would guess as Sriracha sauce (Vietnamese hot sauce usually served with Pho).
