Workshop
With a continually-rotating selection of food, you won’t be disappointed while paying a visit to Workshop! There is always something for everyone in this high-quality, food court style space. Restaurants often use these spots as test kitchens, eventually moving into their own permanent establishments. The current selection of restaurants includes a Jewish deli, taqueria, sushi spot, and many more! It’s also a great choice if you and your crew can’t agree on where to eat.
Melfi’s
Looking for an amazing Italian meal? Look no further than Melfi’s! Melfi’s is a classy, upscale Italian restaurant, serving fresh pasta, pizza, and large plates. The ambiance at Melfi’s is amazing; though a new restaurant, it boasts an old, clubby feeling, transporting customers back to the 1960s. The food here is nothing short of perfection and has customers raving.
