One bulwark is painted a rich yellow. A metal- topped counter with three stools gives a view of the kitchen. Eleven tables with real linens fill the airy space inside, with high ceilings of natural wood and exposed ductwork. Yellow crinkled-glass lamp fixtures hang from the ceiling. There's one banquette against the west wall, and two nifty pictures of automobiles for decoration.
