Le Bouchon (Barack Obama Special)

Le Bouchon offers an elegantly prepared French dining experience, but at the perfect bistro price. Regional French wines are also available.

Union Sushi

Not your average sushi restaurant, Union Sushi offers a wide selection of robata grill menu items and unique meats, as well as their own unusual house sushi. The vibe is electric, chic and very modern. 

EL Ideas

EL Ideas makes fine dining fun. This unique dining experience is unpretentious and surprisingly creative. An unforgettable ten-course tasting menu is presented by the kitchen team in an exciting and playful way. Guests are even encouraged to leave their table and visit the kitchen to see what is happening throughout the evening. A BYOB restaurant.
