The culinary team, led by Executive Chef Shelby Briggs, looks to take familiar dishes and make you fall in love with them all over again through his innovative and inspired approach to cooking. Chef Shelby's team takes a fresh look at what classic Americana should be, and the result is a diverse and timeless menu.

Sinema's cocktail program celebrates over 150 years of craft libations and includes a rare whiskey program with over 200 selections, thoughtfully selected wines and craft beers.

Our space features two levels of dining space, including a bar and private dining areas. The grand lobby, including the curved staircase, have been restored and complemented by exposed brick walls, cozy velvet tufted booths, and legendary music photography by Robert Knight and Mary Ann Bilham.

    Wonderful day celebrating Mother’s Day! Food and service was great for Brunch. I will say some of the menu changes was a real let down especially the cinnamon roll pancakes being taken off since that has always been the highlight of the brunch for us. Please bring it back!

    This place was phenomenal. We went for the bottomless brunch and couldn’t have been happier. The food was fantastic and our server Tommy was very friendly, helpful and on top of everything! Would definitely go back!

    My experience with my family was very good. Some of the food did arrive at the table called, but they have no issue with providing more. I would go back again, the ambience and vibe of the restaurant was extremely cool.

    It’s a fine restaurant. Theme is good. Server was knowledgeable and attentive. When our check came it was not noted the gratuity was included. Certainly would have been 20% or better for the service - just always frustrating that it seems gratuity is included and there is an effort made not to point this out. I would much prefer “we’ve included a 20% gratuity, but any additional consideration would be appreciated” than the clandestine approach of ‘hopefully they add 20% to our 20%”. We were even brought checks at the end of dinner that were not itemized (after providing our cards). Which we had to track down the staff to inquire whether gratuity had been added. Nice restaurant and I wouldn’t let this stand in the way of enjoying the ambience, but it’s a bit of a “buyer beware” aspect.
