With a name that pays homage to Ziggy Stardust himself, RiNo’s Major Tom achieves atmospheric delights with down-to-earth flair. Chef Duncan Holmes brings fine food to a relaxed atmosphere dressed up in attractive jewel tones and space-like features.

Seasonal ingredients are awarded star billing on the menu, and a rotating cast of delicious characters achieves repeat satisfaction for multiple trips to this galactic charmer. The beverage team brings exceptional sips with an expert selection of cocktails and spirits, a thoughtful wine list, and an extensive five-star champagne menu. For the true Major Tom experience, pair a glass of bubbles with the Pacific Coast oysters and sample the sumptuous plates, both shareable or for one.
