Design
A refreshing abundance of blue and tan greets visitors at the door, beckoning them in with a sense of comfort and warmth. A vintage charm permeates the space, backed by a mix of contemporary and industrial design themes. Suspended wood panels hang from the matte black ceiling, and the numerous retro hanging chandeliers mix their glow with the natural light streaming in through the garage door style windows overlooking the water.
The choice of color is both unique and striking, with vivid variations of blue spread across the booths, walls, and ceiling beams. The tan accent of the chairs adds balance and synergy, preventing one from being overwhelmed by the dominating color theme. The layout of the space is well designed, allowing ample room for each party to dine with a sense of privacy. The mix of booth, bar, and table seating provides options for guests wishing to have a quick drink or a more prolonged dining experience.
