restaurants, dallas style.

i just recently met a new friend for lunch in dallas today at central market. instantly i was obsessed. it is a mixture of a food market, and also a fresh food market, where there is a salad bar, an asian bar, sushi, sandwiches, etc. etc. it's ahhhh-mazing. once we selected our food we went and sat down to eat! there is a cute little outdoor area {sadly it was raining so we couldn't eat there unless we wanted to go swimming} and a small little "cafe" - all in all it was a very enjoyable experience! it got me thinking about restaurants and how they are designed... it is not only the food that brings us there but also the experience. below are a few finds of some meticulously designed restaurants that i want to visit - i may have to spend a fortune... but if it's research, it's okay, right?
