UPDATE 8/15: Slog reports Cameo McRoberts is no longer in the kitchen.
Just like the museum in which it resides, Pop Kitchen and Bar is a jolt to the senses. The colors are loud, the atmosphere space-age, and the aesthetic anything but the timbered trimmings our eyeballs know so well.
The food, too, is far from muted. Cameo McRoberts (formerly of Little Water Cantina on Eastlake) helms a deluxe Americana menu tricked out with splurgey flourishes. (Healthful ones will nonetheless find plenty of veg-heavy options.)
