WOW! No expense must have been spared to design the Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge! An amazing variety of shapes, materials, fixtures, and colors were used.

It must have been an overwhelming sensory experience to have even poked your head into the Restaurant. Take a look at the chandelier's flame-like lights (or perhaps they look like inverted ice-cream cones). Besides the chandelier, my favorite decorative element is the metal screen that divides the Dairy Bar from the dining room which was similar to the decorative concrete block walls found on the exteriors of many of the roadside Restaurants.

While the Cocktail Lounge's decor was a continuation of the restaurant's, it was perhaps not quite as flamboyant! The Lounge was made to look more expansive with floor-to-ceiling mirrors called antique gold-veined mirrors by HoJo's in-house design team.
