Serving the ground floor of the larger Louisiana building is this delicately crafted bar and restaurant from Grind and Prosper Hospitality. The feel and layering of the spaces was designed to evoke the unique flavor and culture inspired from New Orleans and it’s warm hospitable food and beverage scene. Landscape takes a prominent role as the lines between interior and exterior are fully blurred. The seating flows throughout a variety of different scenic and semi-reclusive spaces while the bar sits in the back of the space as if hidden inside a jewel box. The kitchen is exposed to the public as an exhibition of culinary work space.
