Detail, details, details

We are really into the details now, there is way more to building a restaurant than people realize. Whew! Sorry for the delay between posting here, the holidays slowed things down for a couple weeks, so there wasn't much to show. Although having Christmas fresh in my mind helped me realize that we needed lots of extra outlets in places for next years Christmas lights. Got to think ahead! Also, putting lots of hours in working on the new menu, it's kind of tough sometimes because it makes me hungry typing the descriptions.
It can be hard to get a visual in your head from looking at the construction photos, so below is a small picture of both levels of the floor plan.



lower level


upper level


kitchen- looks like an alien ship is landing! / kitchen stairs going up to our office

entrance - dome ceiling / dining side looking at entrance

dining room stairs / booth arches


kitchen hoods, pretty huge! / installing the ceiling...way too much detail!


electrical panels / you think we have enough light switches here?

Thanks for the update! About how much longer do you reckon before I can chow down on the famous Matta's rellenos?

You're welcome Jim. As soon I have news of an opening date I will post it here.

This is looking great! I miss the old restaurant. Had been going there since I was a little girl. Can't wait for this one to open! We take the drive out to the grill at least once a month! The new restaurant will be much closer. Keep us posted!

Thank you! We miss the old restaurant too, but the new place will have many things to bring back fond memories of the old Matta's.
