I only went to see the place after the imminent closing was announced...that was last year. There were some striking details...for example, some large windows that looked out over a subtly-lit foresty area (I think the plants were separated from the street by a layer of decorative cinder-blocks, also) that blocked the view of traffic outside. Doesn't sound like much, maybe, but while I was eating my gaze would be drawn back to these windows over and over. They seemed to say, "Don't worry, there's no city out there, outside there's nothing but jungle." The arrangement was really beautiful and haunting.
