Sounds like a place designed for hooking up.  Cute girls at the other table?  Call them up.  There was a similar place in San Diego, but the phones all lead to the kitchen, and it was how you placed your order.

This sounds heavenly.  I'd love to have a place like that within walking distance.  A good place to hangout, work, have a beer, whatever.
