Brimming with Southern California charm with its mildly-lit laidback décor and palm trees-laden alfresco terrace, the Yenn Wong and Morgan McGlone-helmed all-American eatery stands in welcome contrast to the area’s surroundin­g soaring skyscraper­s, with a menu boasting no shortage of quality classics. The double cheeseburg­er came with cheesecloa­ked juicy patties and spiceseaso­ned fries, and the fish tacos lent a textured, zesty crunch—the bulgogi and soft shell crab versions are also crowdpleas­ers. While the crab ensalada lacked the expected flavour hit, the buffalo wings dipped in creamy blue cheese sauce provided the perfect zesty kick as an appetiser. The surprising show-stealer, however, was the salted caramel pretzel milkshake—spiked with a dash of wild turkey bourbon—that had diners ooh-ing and ahh-ing over its presentati­on and creamy, crunchy goodness in every sip. Friendly, knowledgea­ble staff, a wide-ranging cocktail and beer list and the prime location make this one-year-old eatery a solid destinatio­n for weekend brunches, happy hours, or just the spontaneou­s get-together. Diners, take note that there is no table service at the alfresco terrace.
