“A modern, bright, and colorful 21st Century French Restaurant.

As soon as guests enter La Bise, they will feel the energy, experiencing the kitchen activity from the bar. Comfortable stools invite lingering at this vibrant hub in the restaurant, which has the best vantage for watching the chefs at work.

The two dining rooms will showcase their own distinctive style. One dining room will have a light-grabbing reflective mirrored wall. The banquettes in this dining room will feature a bold striped fabric design, complementing the salmon-colored wallpaper, which will accent the entire room. The second dining room will have deep tufted banquettes and custom murals of Paris which evoke memories of this romantic city.”
