EPIC
An early-1900s mill repurposed for 21st-century ambitions is the backdrop for a singular destination: EPIC. Comprised of raw steel and concrete, this industrial loft espouses energy and excitement. 23-foot-high windows afford an unrivaled view of trendy Hubbard Street for an intimate dinner, while Bloomspot exclusive culinary demonstrations and luncheons with Executive Chef Mark Pollard offer a glimpse into the creation of award-winning American cuisine.
As EPIC’s freshly minted culinary shepherd, Pollard champions an unprecedented quest to make the “unusual approachable and the familiar newly relevant.” The result is appropriately epic: seasonal, regionally inspired fare that meanders from Chilean sea bass with Champagne butter to braised beef short ribs over velvety polenta. Appease your zest for gastronomy with a sojourn through American cuisine that is simultaneously classic and curious.
The space takes on a romantic feel as the sun sets: soft lighting, the clink of glasses, and the murmur of spirited conversation accompany each memorable meal. Conclude your evening with a visit to EPIC Sky, a rooftop getaway whose spectacular city views more than validate its namesake.
