5.0 out of 5 stars
Part Time Capsule, Part Classic Design Reference,
By Theseus "theseus" (US of A) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Restaurants in California (Restaurant Design, 3) (Hardcover)
In the 1990's, photojournalist Gen Takeshi Saito was dispatched around the globe by Graphic Sha Publishing (and other entities) to profile successful restaurant design: interiors, menus, food presentation, graphics, and the general ambience. This was the 90's after all, and there was a lot of money being invested as Americans dove (again) into their love of dining out.
Saito's slick photography captures some very lush and very practical restaurant concepts in action in California from High-end to Mall dining. For each restaurant we get shots of interiors, floorplans, plated dishes, menus, and some of the exteriors. The excellent thing about this book (and this series?) is the inclusion of graphics and food. This is interior design, sure, but more than that it conveys the entire restaurant experience. Hardback pictorial cloth boards, heavy paper, 223 pp. Japanese and English side-by-side. The Restaurants: Cimarron Gordon Biersch Chillers Paragon Bar (San Franciso) Johnny Loves (San Francisco) Lawry's (Beverly Hills) Lunaria Rokenwagner Michael's Waterside Aqua (San Francisco) One Market Elka Water Grill North Beach Bar & Grill (Venice) L'Opera Ristorante (Long Beach) Bikini Opus Pinot Bistro Emporio Armani Express L'Escoffier (Beverly Hills) Picnic Tatou Luma Post (Sherman Oaks) Modella (San Francisco) Planet Hollywood (Santa Ana) Cafe del Ray Hard Rock Cafe (Newport Beach) Cha Cha Cha (Encino) Cha Cha Cha (Long Beach) Border Grill (Santa Monica) Cypress Club (San Francisco) Cafe La Boheme Schatzi on Main Bayside 240 Red Car Grill Blackhawk Grill (Danville) Restaurant Lulu Terrazza Toscana McCormick & Kuleto's Etrusca I Cugne Trattoria Il Fornario Cucina Expressa (Costa Mesa) Broadway Deli (Santa Monica) California Beach Rock N' Sushi The Stinking Rose Cafe Vallarta Fama Remi Miss Pearl's Jam House Dale's Bistro
