Opening in Summer, the Izakaya Style Asian restaurant and lounge, will feature a custom built Robata Grill & Sushi Bar along with an expansive lunch and dinner menu of Shareable Pan-Asian Dishes ranging from Japanese, Thai, Korean, and Chinese Influences.

The restaurant will seat 175 guests with space for another 60 at the main bar and Robata & Sushi Bar. A large central bar is the perfect gathering place for a pre-theater cocktail or late night drinks with friends. The Asian style décor will feature framed glass, wood trussing ceiling features, and hand carved twin laying Buddhas peering over the restaurant.

The Lounge space can also serve as overflow to the restaurant on busy weekend evenings and will turn into a Vibrant Lounge environment at the conclusion of dinner service with Pittsburgh’s best DJ’s.
