During the week, this globally inspired contemporary American spot, a lofty storefront space featuring exposed brick, hardwood floors and an open kitchen, is a casual quick-serve cafe. On weekend evenings, it becomes a full-service restaurant. Owner Hector Pena, who named the restaurant for his daughter, enlisted Ambria alum Cesar Casas as executive chef. His weekday menu features appetizers such as ceviche and quesadillas, gourmet sandwiches (Caribbean chicken is a specialty), soups, salads, while heartier dinner offerings, which change weekly, show Latin, French and Italian influences.
