| - AWESOME UNIQUE PLACE!
I cannot say enough about this - Gallery? Restaurant? Graffiti paradise? All of the above!!
I came here with some friends for a special event in the evening.
To start, parking is minimal on the main drag so we parked in a small public parking lot right across from the Aldi grocery store nearby. It has 24-hour parking meters which only take quarters so keep that in mind.
We were treated to a special menu featuring quinoa chili, chicken marsala with pasta, spring mix salad with strawberry balsamic vinaigrette, seasoned diced potatoes, vegetable medley, crab cakes, and bruschetta toast bites. All the food was absolutely incredible, unique, and full of flavor. I could eat that balsamic dressing off of a shoe! It was delicious.
After eating, we were invited to check out the space, which has a main level featuring some artwork and displays, and a spiral staircase leading downstairs to a basement area with more awesome pieces and furniture.
We spoke with the chef/owner for a bit and he was very friendly and passionate about the venue and his food. He quoted us a VERY reasonable price for renting out the venue for a private event, and said he is willing to create custom menus for any style of event. He truly seems like he would be great to work with for a special event because he pours everything into his food and it really shows! He's the real deal.
We were blown away by this place and are already planning to return for their weekend brunch or weekday Thai dinners.
Initially I thought, this might be suited for a select crowd (mid-20's to early 30's), but I was completely wrong! There was a variety of people in attendance for the event I went to, from 20 year olds to 60+ year olds, and all were craning their neck to check out every inch of the space. It was just awesome to see everyone being open to this art experience!
For a unique, fantastic experience with some great food prepared by a very talented chef, I urge you to check this place out!! It totally fits in with the vibe of the surrounding neighborhood, while being open enough for any crowd of people to enjoy!
