Hip but comfortable. Elegant, yet cool and casual. Whatever dining experience you’re looking for, you’ll find the best of both worlds here.

If you just want to graze, the sleek Kitchen Bar overlooking the exhibition kitchen is the perfect vantage point to chow down on one of the many menu favorites, from specialty pizzas, to burgers, to smoked salmon and pasta, all prepared before your eyes.

For more upscale dining, contemporary furnishings, orange and black accents, exposed ceilings and tall glass panels, as well as a narrow, see-and-be-seen front room with banquettes create an open, airy setting for any occasion; a glassed in enclave with a quieter back room is ideal for private parties.

C-144, the ultimate "Chef's Table,” accommodates 10 guests comfortably for a seated dinner. Glass walls and a view of the open kitchen make this an intimate experience for business or pleasure. Tasting menus designed by Christopher are available for the adventurous, and can be designed with wine pairings by Paola for each course.

A re-energized menu with all your cult favorites.

Pizzas. Cheeseburgers. Truffle fries. Yes, this is Christopher's. And no, it doesn't have to be expensive!

For grazers, the sleek Kitchen Bar overlooking the exhibition kitchen is the perfect vantage point to chow down on specialty pizzas, cheeseburgers, charcuterie and cheese, or pasta, all prepared before your eyes by Chef Christopher and his team. And if want to stop in for a snack between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. seven days a week, pull up a seat and we'll pick up half the tab.

If you're craving the Red Bell Pepper or Wild Mushroom soup, Christopher's smoked salmon, or the mouth-watering Smoked Truffle Infused Filet Mignon from days gone by, don't despair -- it's all here -- along with a daring menu of fun and inspiring American Contemporary French-inspired fare.

Crush Lounge takes on its own personality and your appetite. Plop down in a cozy banquette for a signature Crush cocktail or a glass of wine from sommelier Paola Embry's award-winning wine list, ranging affordably through most of the world's varietals. Munch on a Goat Cheese and Roasted Garlic Pizza, Vanilla Dusted Scallops, or the smooth Mac 'n' Cheese au gratin, studded with bits of ham.

The big finish? Who can resist the knockout Chocolate Tower that stars in Julia Child's cookbook...if you dare to resist then the Grand Marnier souffle makes a great supporting player.

Sweet!



And when the weather is great, so is the patio, where you can snack on appetizers and drinks or indulge in a full meal in a casual, comfortable setting.

Whatever your mood, whatever you’re craving, it’s here.
