The perfect juxtaposition of lighthearted attitude and intense flavor in an atmosphere that proves fine dining doesn't have to be uptight.

Divas, who impersonate iconic performers and lip-sync their songs, serenade patrons as they dine on eclectic contemporary American cuisine in a bright interior that is reminiscent of 1950s supper clubs.

William Reynolds, the provost of the Washburne Culinary Institute, heads up this restaurant at the South Shore Cultural Center.
