Designed to become an exclusive "see and be seen" destination in Mexico City, the restaurant plays with the luxuriousness of light. It is placed within a free floating pavilion constructed of illuminated translucent walls of shimmering glass, topped with a wood ceiling. The main dining room is framed by an open kitchen at one end and opens onto a glass-enclosed garden. There, amongst waterfalls, the space can accommodate a private dining area.

An integral part of the entire space is a soaring, undulating, metal wall that spans the entire length of the room from the entrance to the garden. Allowing for more separate, intimate spaces, the wall divides the bar/lounge on one side and the wine room and six private dining rooms on the other. Lavishly decorated, the restaurant aspires to accommodate Mexico’s elite.
