Restaurant Interiors: Syrah



Last week, I returned to the downtown wine bar, Syrah, a spirit and wine parlor (as they say). Recently opened, the underground space is whimsically decorated by talented designer, Michael Soriano.  I was particularly drawn to the organic lighting, which weaves dried wine vines along the ceiling.  The entire space is an eclectic mix of different seating areas; a row of high-back booths, private enclosures with long farm tables, pods of plush couches, or a string of sleek high tops.  While their menu is limited, containing an assortment of meat & cheese plates and desserts, it's not a let down for a delicious little nibble.  Definitely recommend stopping in... just make sure you can find the handle hidden on the ivy covered front door in the graffiti covered stairwell!
