Named after its Hip Urban Environment, HUE fits right in with Thornton Park Central’s loft chic. The ceilings are high, the beams are exposed, and the lines are sharp and clean. Muted caramel and chocolate colors soften the stark architecture. You’ll swear HUE is a branch of a New York or L.A. hot spot that your cousin told you about. The truth is that Orlando has reached a critical mass of creative professionals and wired visitors that can support a bistro of this caliber. The cascade of awards heaped upon HUE by locals bespeaks the hunger of Orlando denizens for this sort of hipper-than-thou vibe.Progressive American cuisine dominates the ambitious menu, and the wood-grilled entrees are always delicious choices. Start with the beef tataki with cucumber salad and sweet chili sauce for a tantalizing mix of flavors. Continue your foray into the unique with the tamari roasted breast of duck served with Asian barbecue, stir-fried vegetable pearl pasta, and pickled ginger. Hit HUE’s Disco Brunch, on the third Sunday of every month, to groove to the beats of a live DJ as you cruise the bloody mary bar.
