"Augusta Restaurant incorporates one-of-a-kind artwork with a warm, engaging atmosphere. Impressive double doors open to the sweeping two-story restaurant where the exhibition kitchen plays center stage in a fascinating culinary show. Denise, known for her artistic ceilings, has created an original for the bar. Because of her love of metals, she designed a banister of metal and glass, which outlines a dramatic cherry wood staircase. Ochre-washed cement floors give way to black tweed carpeting and the white walls and ceiling are backdrop for carefully chosen art. All complimented with fun fabrics imitating leopard skin, cowhide and tapestry. Perhaps what you're looking for is the entire restaurant for the evening... or Augusta's private dining loft which overlooks the lower dining room. This highly personalized atmosphere can be reserved by individuals for the most intimate and formal occasion. To the west, second floor exterior patios will overlook the Santa Rosa Mountains and Garden." |
