High ceilings, an open kitchen, spacious table arrangements and intimate lighting combine to create a sleek, modern setting. in the kitchen is Michael McDonald, who's served as executive chef at Charlie Trotter’s restaurants in Las Vegas and Los Cabos. McDonald's contemporary American menu offers market-inspired starter plates priced from $8 to $14 and mains from $19 to $35. A five-course tasting menu ($75) is available daily.
