cafeADAM est. 2006

THE SPACE

With 85 interor seats the restaurant can feel roomy or book quickly.  Assume that  Saturday nights are usually booked at least one week in advance. 

'Renovated top to bottom the newly opened space gives a feeling of modern minimalism with classic lines.  The rich walnut floors are accented with vibrant reds, soothing greys, and more natural warm wood tones. Candlelight sets the mood even further; music is classic jazz, bossa nova,  World and European folk.  Dress is absolutly casual.   The kitchen is semi-open so guest can see where there food is being prepared. '

The space was intended to be modeled after Berkshire Country Home with a caommercial kitchen attached.  There is a full bar that seats eleven, a lounge area that seats eight, a closed in front porch that has a waiting area, a small porch for outdoor seating, a main dining room and an additional back dining room that looks into the wine cellar can be booked for private parties.
