The strategy for the restaurant was to open up the entire length of the restaurant to the original high ceilings, allowing light and greenery from the courtyard beyond to illuminate the dining and seafood bar area. Facilities ( dish-line, trash and restrooms ) were inserted out of sight off to the side, coexisting with the adjacent sub-tenant, which will remain in operation.
