This eclectic American bistro offers dressed-up, substantial fare, including starters such as prosciutto salad with shaved fennel, tangerines, Parmesan and balsamic syrup, and entrees like grilled salmon with curry-tomato coulis and pork tenderloin with creamed leeks and applewood-smoked bacon. A Sunday brunch offers equally imaginative egg dishes. An open floor plan, loft ceiling, exposed brick walls and plenty of candlelight make for a warm and inviting space, while images of magnolias decorate the walls.
