Once a former Chinese restaurant, the spot sat vacant for the last eight years before it was transformed into the serene and modern Tavo.

The bar is topped with a burnished copper coating in matte resin and features tambour cladding on its front.

Inspired by the mountains of Monterrey, Mexico, the back bar’s rippling design resembles waves and contrasts the copper bar.

The 70-seat eatery includes banquettes in linen-like fabrics and faux leather and a back wall that captures the romantic mountain landscape with an abstract topographical design.

The subterranean private dining room comes alive with jungle wallpaper, green velvet curtains, and a pink neon sign that reads “This never happened,” a cheeky reference to its clandestine location.
