Al Dente serves authentic, fresh, fresh pasta—the kind that’s made in-house daily and cooked right in front of you. The Chef’s Counter has daily chef’s specials, so you’ll never know what’s coming next (unless you look it up, of course). Crumb & Cream’s friendly bakers offer freshly baked pastries and breads—ask nicely and they might even decorate a cupcake especially for you. Arrive early and you’ll find Early Bird Bistro serving elevated breakfast staples while Sunrise Omelet Bar fries and folds custom omelets to-order. One station even rotates its concept month to month.

Never a dull moment and always great food.
