From Oct. 22-Nov. 21 (closed Nov. 5), the café transforms into Bistro Verde, a casual, dine-in restaurant experience. The full-service lunch features appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, desserts, coffees, drinks and chef inspired dishes that are prepared from scratch using high quality ingredients and finished with creative flair. Reservations are recommended.
