Boasting a sleek—if not somewhat generic—ambience created by designer Peter Sibilia, it's both a restaurant and lounge that manages to blend all the bells and whistles of minimalist decor into a spacious, bi-level 3,500 square foot space. The upstairs lounge features several of the clubby trappings you might expect, such as plasma screens, a DJ booth, cushy couches and a glass balcony overlooking diners. The cuisine—a safe blend of New American and Asian-fusion—features kicky, low-maintenance standouts like the Kung Pow burger and Ying Yang chicken wings.
