- VIP Seating: To offer a heightened dining experience, VIP areas were designed with luxurious furnishings and privacy features, without isolating guests from the restaurant's ambiance.
- DJ Area: The DJ booth was a focal point, built with acoustics in mind without overshadowing the dining experience, carefully integrating sound design with spatial aesthetics.
