Our main dining room embodies the best of contemporary restaurant design—distinctive, and warmly inviting thanks to its creative use of color and natural elements. Striking original artworks throughout by nationally recognized artists include a specially commissioned California Bear collage that pays homage to the state’s (and Silicon Valley’s) pioneering spirit. Equally ideal for seated dinners and full bar cocktail receptions, the space offers a vibrant, yet refined backdrop for gatherings that feel both welcoming and out of the ordinary.
