Chips on the old block
There's a literal mosaic on the wall of the new Mosaic restaurant downtown, but the figurative metaphors are just as much fun.
Mosaic is a mosaic of players: an architect-turned-chef, a neighbor-turned-architect and a Frankfurter-turned-St. Louisan, with bits of Chicago mixed in for fuller effect.
Finding the right martini
The girls on "Sex and the City" created a monster when they first started ordering Cosmopolitans on the HBO hit series. Since then, it seems like every bar in the country is marketing its flavored martinis to women who want to be Carrie and men who want to date a sex columnist.
The prevalence of places serving these brightly colored cocktails can make it hard to find the right spot. If you're like me, you want a spot that's modern and trendy, but you don't want a place overflowing...
Mosaic
A menu of "Modern fusion" - bits and pieces of various cuisines arranged to create a variety of "small plates." Another very hip loft renovation, combining a bit of sports-bar feel (widescreen TVs on one wall) with unusual design elements such as live gas jets, with a Top 40 soundtrack in the background.

Party On
My dinner at Mosaic was yummy.....
One glance and you know all the elements for a blowout bash are in place. Located in loft central a block off Washington Avenue, the three-month-old restaurant looks, well, swell -- a chic, eye-pleasing mix of black tables, exposed ductwork, high ceilings, tall windows and a curvaceous freestanding bar. Off to one side, between the open-air kitchen and the hallway leading to the johns, colored spotlights traipse across a tile mosaic in rhythm with the club beats bleating from the sound system at just the right let's-get-it-started volume. Beneath that striking display of wall art, a row of Bunsen burner-style candelabra anchors a small lounge area swanked out with seating pillows along a bamboo bench and a pair of lounge chairs: a little pit of love and fire, the spot where you just know the throngs will cluster once things get under way.
