To create a more welcoming entry experience, we relocated the host stand, added a fireplace with soft seating, and opened up the foyer to the restaurant with a new stone arch. The existing interior bar was trimmed back at one end where we added banquette seating with a window view to the pizza oven and kitchen. Reconfiguring the main dining areas allowed for maximum seating flexibility, and wine display for over 20 cases of wine was added to the back private dining room. A 350 SF stone clad conservatory with operable windows and a custom wagon wheel chandelier was added to the lake side of the restaurant. We activated the plaza side of the restaurant by adding a 14 seat bar with a covered pergola structure over 36 patio seats. This added structure provides cover from the rain, cooling fans in the summer and heat to ward off chill for maximum outdoor enjoyment day and night.
