Editorial Review

This place is so cool, it doesn't need a sign out front--look for the name quietly written on front door and valet stand. Celebrity Chef Brian Malarky's much-hyped eatery garners buzz on many levels--fare, crowd and noise levels. Sit by the exhibition kitchen and watch the show. Try Shrimp and bacon grits for comfort food made decadent, savor salmon "Scottish" succulent with slivers of beet, orange, and goat cheese fondue. Bar is a scene of its own with super-trendy crowd sipping craft cocktails, beers and international wines contributing to buzzy decibels. Celebs and visiting chefs make it a point to check this place out.
