Many of the decorative elements were created or influenced by artist-in-residence Amos Goldbaum, including custom paintings show- casing iconic skylines of the city as well as his line work, seen on three large canvases in the main dining room and directly on the walls in the private dining room. The furniture selec- tion reflects a California interpreta- tion of classic Italian design, while light pendants from a New York-based lighting design manufacturer dangle from the ceiling. Custom vases and plat- ters by local ceramicist Katy Rodden of Mizu Ceramics dot the walls.

The communal table and bar top are inspired by a tailor's worktable, while geo- metric light fixtures add a modern touch to the simple yet elegant space that opened in May 2017.

Custom artwork by many Bay Area designers, including bright, coral tile mosaics; rose gold resin detailing using the centuries-old technique of kintsugi; and a neon pink version of the restaurant's logo, add pop to the smoky gray walls and worn-in flooring. The space also features custom woodworking, including the blond alderwood sushi bar and dark wood dining- room tables, flanked by Jered's Pottery plateware.
