Everything was excellent but I would suggest dimming the lights earlier. We sat in the space right before the bar and it was too bright around 730p. The lights were eventually dimmed and it made the place more inviting. Also instead of chairs, i think more bench seating like you already have near the bar would enhance the experience and allow for more flexibility for seating different numbers of groups
