Diners who prefer to share a meal outdoors keep warm by the fireplace.

Vintage Northern European furniture, shelving, and pendant lights contribute to a rugged impression.

Sasa Mahr-Batuz explained his vision: “The idea was to create an environment that feels like it’s been in existence for a long time and is timeless—but at the same time, it’s imperative that it’s cozy, that it makes you want to come back, it feels familiar. It feels powerful.”
