The Scene
This open-concept restaurant and lounge “cashes in” on the striking mid-century modern architecture of its original bank persona with a playful design and bold colors. The vault has been repurposed as a wine cellar and the drive-through window portico now serves as a smoking lounge. The smoke-free front patio offers al fresco dining, and both outdoor spaces are dog-friendly.
The Cuisine
A contemporary comfort food menu that changes quarterly puts a fresh – often whimsical – twist on classic favorites. Signature Mac & Cheese comes with add-ons ranging from chipotle-bacon to smoked salmon. An extensive American craft beer list offers optimal pairings, from a hands-on burger and lobster sliders to Buttons and Bones (pickled button mushrooms and marrow bone).
Q&A with Domenic “Mimmo” Lombardo, chef/owner
What impact did coming from a restaurant family have on your career?
A lot! Restaurants can be love/hate. My background influenced me to fix the cons of running a restaurant while emphasizing the pros.
