The stylish space boasts a beautiful all-season, streetside pergola bar and dining area which will stand out as a much-desired destination for al fresco dining.

The Menu

Bar La Rue’s menu incorporates French plays on approachable American comfort foods. The kitchen team is led by Chef Nikitas Pyrgis hailing from La Guérite in Cannes; plus Chef Partner Athinagoras Kostakos, formerly of Alain Ducasse in Monaco and Partner in both DineAmic’s La Serre, LÝRA and VIOLÍ concepts. Diners can expect delicious, French-inspired dishes like the La Rue Burger with melted Comte cheese served with crispy frites and garlic aioli, and a Lobster Roll on a brioche bun that can be served in the classic style or “opulent” style adorned with Osetra caviar and shaved truffles.

The Space

Designed with a “grit meets glamor” aesthetic as inspiration, the DineAmic team curated the space to artfully juxtapose relaxed urban style with elegant and ornate accents. The 3,000 square-foot interior brings together elements like a patinaed zinc bar top with green crystal chandeliers hanging overhead. Black and white print wallpaper on one side of the room is set adjacent to glimmering metallic wallpaper on the other side. Installed above the main entryway is a myriad of colorful liquor bottles which will let sunlight in with a kaleidoscope effect reflecting into the space. A variety of bright bohemian florals adorn the restaurant and harmoniously blend with a custom modern wall of LED windows that backlight a banquette of tables.
