Fortunately for this team, the associated eating area is largely a success! A stone wall dominates it, but this team improves the issue by layering a large mirror on top of it and bouncing much-needed light back into the space. Additionally, this team chooses a round table, which is a smart choice from both a traffic-flow standpoint and a conversational standpoint. A round table always makes for a more interactive meal since everyone can see everyone else. By injecting warm reds and coppers through the drapes and rug, they manage to soften and stimulate at the same time.
