Dish is high-tech comfort cookery with a lounge-cum-supper-club vibe. Focal point: a polycarbonate chainmail drapery highlighted with color-changing LED lights. The menu embraces seasonal fare, utilizing local farms and purveyors whenever available. Sample flatbreads from a gas-fired pizza oven and “Fran’s Texas Free-Range Roasted Chicken.”

Embellishments: raised banquettes with black vinyl seats and silver velvet backs positioned against amethyst crushed velvet drapes. Nibble on truffle fries, pesto-basil-shiitake-mushroom pizza, and black mussels with chorizo, tomatoes, and garlic. Seduction: 360-degree bar (white Corian topped with a dark hot rolled steel base) with retractable floor-to-ceiling glass walls that allow those both indoors and out to suckle the rich bar buzz. Potions: epicurean-inspired cocktails formulated with fresh-squeezed juices, fruits and herbs—i.e. strawberry basil margarita or pomegranate mojito. Dig into the hearty Bourbon-marinated smothered pork chop or the Black Angus steaks.

Frills: an ensemble of loose lounge seating anchored by LED-illuminated tables plus a 10-seat communal table separating the bar from the main dining room. Chameleon moment: once dinner concludes, the space is transformed into a sultry night scene with lounge tunes piped from a raised, tucked-away DJ booth. Pure scene. Bonus: Unisex potties.
