Not to Be Missed!
Experience a bygone era when you step into this 1930s style Prohibition Speakeasy. Outfitted with stunning Zebra print chairs replicated from New York’s famed Morocco nightclub, the exotically elegant supper club includes a cozy inside bar (salvaged from a long forgotten speakeasy in Chicago), as well as the casual outdoor “Havana Bar” and dining patio. The dinner menu features wonderful starters like Escargot, Smoked Shrimp Remoulade and Roasted Feta Dip, as well as a good selection of soups and salads. Grilled hand-cut steaks, roasted free range chicken and lamb, shrimp scampi and the fresh daily catch are truly stellar. Lunch is a more casual affair but just as special. Live music nightly.
