The bi-level restaurant brings upscale casual New England vibes to Chicago and accentuates the location’s sweeping riverfront views and outdoor space. The updated space honors the architectural significance of Marina City, locally referred to as the “corncob buildings.” The interior was designed around the signature curves of the building and is outfitted with fixtures and colors to create a modern, bright eastern seaboard feel.
