Zana is now open in Birmingham, featuring modern American, European-inspired cuisine | Eater Detroit

"Opened in October by Mario Camaj's hospitality group, Zana at 210 S. Old Woodward offers a modern-American dining experience with European inspiration in a renovated 10,000-square-foot space (formerly The Bird & The Bread). The interior, designed by Sabrina Buchanan of Base Designs, Ian Hartwell of Oliver Max Inc., and architect John Gardner of Gardner and Associates, feels bright, inviting and refined with soft green and pink accents, a gold-leaf bar, mosaic tile and custom hand-blown work from the Czech Republic, plus a banquet/private dining room that fits up to 135 diners. The menu is split between small plates and full entrees, salads, sides and desserts, and highlights specialties such as a shareable steak tartare with 12-hour tomato, shiitake, burnt onion, cress and marrow toast, under smoke; whole black bass with olive, citrus, herbs, potato tostones and Shishito pepper zhoug; and lamb chops with coco spice, shaved kohlrabi, apple, cress, black barley, mint and pomegranate vinaigrette. Executive chef Jason Bamford joins from the flagship Waldorf Astoria and the Delano Hotel in Miami, and Anthony Escalante leads a bar program that emphasizes local spirits. Hours are 4 p.m.–10 p.m. Tuesday–Thursday, 4 p.m.–11 p.m. Friday–Saturday, and 4 p.m.–8 p.m. Sunday, and reservations are recommended." - Serena Maria Daniels
