Although this restaurant is located within a hotel (the Magnolia Hotel), it doesn't have the stigma that a hotel restaurant usually carries--due to its street entry, lively atmosphere, and solid West Coast menu. The color scheme is primarily mauve and gold, and the two-level dining area features modern art, hardwood floors with area carpet, and hanging crystal lights over the bar. There is also a small outdoor patio off the mezzanine level.
