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.

    We were very pleased with the overall experience at Sinema. We were there to celebrate our daughter’s birthday with 6 adults and 2 children under 10. The servicer was attentive and informative. The food was wonderful and the steaks were cooked perfectly. Definitely a great place for a celebration.

    We were having a celebration dinner so I reserved the special package. On arrival, there was a hand written note, two glasses of fizz and some flowers. It was the perfect enterence. We followed it up with the tasting menu, as five course dinner with wine pairings. The food was exceptional, the service was great! I’d highly recommend you give it a try!

    Brunch and service was amazing, as usual. Food was delicious and served hot, and bottomless mimosas with 3 different choices of juice was great.

    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!
