Formerly a contemporary American restaurant known as Note Bene, the acclaimed chef, David Lee, and restaurateur, Steven Salm, sought out to create a new Asian-focused vegan restaurant, The concept was based on the user’s experience of travelling through a traditional Chinese Hutong and creating spaces were one can dine in difference areas suitable for different times of day. Upon arrival, one begins “street-side”, at the cobble-stoned lower front bar which hosts a more daytime casual dining atmosphere.
