Here are all the ingredients for creating the perfect restaurant. Start with a prime location, situated just off Bell Boulevard, with heavy car and foot traffic from the adjoining businesses - French Workshop, Ayna Agra, and The UPS Store. Then we add atmosphere. With exposed brick, wood beams, HVAC, lots of windows and sunlight, wainscoting as well as hardwood and tile flooring - the feeling is charming, elegant, low-key, and inviting. Next, this is a big space, so you can feed and entertain a lot of people. There's 3,000 sf on the first floor (seating for 138) and an additional 2,000 sf on the second floor (seating for 108). Now you add in all the special touches. As you enter, there's an oversized separate bar with a large seating area with three split mini systems, and French doors that open for potential outdoor sidewalk seating. The first floor dining room features open dining and a raised level with booth seating. The winding staircase leads you to the second floor dining room, which is perfect for groups, special events and holiday parties. Beyond these ingredients, you also need the right equipment. There are two fully-equipped kitchens. The main kitchen is on the first floor, plus a back staircase with direct access to the kitchen on the second floor. There are also storage areas in the sub-basement, and the basement has three walk-ins, plus an oversized prep area. The finishing touches include wheelchair accessibility and an adjacent parking lot for night/weekend valet parking.
