About this space

The market's most vibrant level, anchored by Main Bar Centrale and surrounded by artisan kitchens — Mexican, Japanese, wagyu burger, Greek, and calamari and seafood. Guests move freely between stations, ordering fresh from the artisans while the central bar keeps service flowing. Curated classes run on this level, adding a hands-on element to any function. Ideal for cocktail-style events, standing receptions and relaxed group dining.
