Back in the 90’s the Garfield’s restaurant was the place to be at my local mall. It sadly sits empty.

First time in this restaurant, and it was such a nostalgic kinda vibe, but didn’t really make sense to me? Any ideas? Color palette was super neutral with lots of browns/oranges, and it almost felt like a kitschy 90’s restaurant.

So much whimsy!

I am so confused by this piece. The fabric and embroidery make me think yukata, but the folded collar makes me think kimono. Help? Also, some of the stitching looks machine-done, which also leans towards yukata, as far as I understand. There is also hand-stitchwork.

Also, how fun is the mid-century (I strongly suspect) embroidery?

I can't imagine this is silk, but can't easily access any loose threads for a burn test. Linen? Synthetic?

The cheddar broccoli was incredible!

I drink them every morning, and I missed their art! They have a really 90s GVC vibe to them, yet they look modern
