Description: This globally-inspired contemporary American spot is a lofty storefront cafe featuring exposed brick, local art, hardwood floors and an open kitchen. The restaurant opened in 2009 as a place for Pena's then 8-year-old daughter, Isabella, to have a place in the neighborhood to eat fresh, healthy food prepared from scratch. Sandwiches, Coffee & Salads occupy most of the real estate on the menu and provide the most bang for your buck for dine-in or take-out. Entrees include Caribbean jerk chicken, sauteed salmon with mango salsa, seafood pasta, lamb shank, skirt steak topped with Madeira wine sauce & garlic mash potatoes, tilapia Provencal, Mediterranean platter, pork loin chops with grilled pineapple, linguine with shrimp sauteed in homemade marinara sauce, and vegetarian options on par with anything served in the Gold Coast or Loop. Venture in today and let your taste buds be your guide!

“Check this place out!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012 via mobile

This is a really trendy place and the food is excellent!! We started with the Bella salad then moved on to the skirt steak and finally finished with the tres leches cake. This is a BYOB which (will save you some cash). The skirt steak can be cut with a fork, and the tres leches melts in your mouth. Bella... More
