The dining room features concrete floors, an active bar, and an open kitchen built around a wood-burning oven. The courtyard is the main outdoor dining space: lush greenery, ceiling fans, and heat lamps for cooler evenings. The space was recently renovated to expand both indoor and outdoor seating facing 40th Street. Wednesday evenings feature live jazz. The crowd is a consistent mix of Design District regulars, business lunches, and visitors from Miami Beach.

The menu changes seasonally and is structured around simple preparations of quality local ingredients. The wood-burning oven anchors the kitchen, producing whole fish, roasted chicken, vegetables, and wood-fired pizzas. Recurring dishes include house-made pasta, crudo, wood oven-roasted octopus, slow-roasted short rib, and fried pig's ears. Sunday brunch runs a weekly-changing small plates format including breakfast pizza with local farm eggs. Happy hour runs daily. The pastry program is led by Pastry Chef Marlena Bella with a focus on seasonal and house-baked desserts.
