The place is really looking great. I'm sure the pictures don't give you the "scale" of what it will be in person. The Living Room is right up my alley. ;-) Regards, Harry WOW!

Your new place looks intriguing From a customer point of view - just a suggestion for seating. Big groups go out for fun and laughter and it's great - unless you and your friend or husband or date went out for a quiet evening and quiet talk. it's always tough in a restaurant when the big groups are seated nearby the small tables for two. I've been in lovely, peaceful restaurants and all was wonderful but where the large tables for 10 were down the center and the small tables for 2 all along the side of them, so that when the 10 sat down - forget any quiet discussion at the intimate tables! i want them to enjoy themselves - just not next to us when we are two! So - just a suggestion that one area be tables for 2 (or 3) with and a little distance from the other area, which could be for larger tables where they can just out yell and out laugh each other and allow the small groups to have their peaceful or romantic or serious evening dinner in relative quiet. Your excellent food deserves both! Merci et bon courage! Betsy Meehan I agree with many of your ideas – especially the multi-use small plates and the unnecessary saucers – wise thinking!
