NORFOLK, VA

This new restaurant was built on the property of an existing restaurant, originally an IHOP. Very little of the original building was preserved other than the foundation and site parking. The family-style cuisine inspired a theme of an old-time passenger train for interior décor and memorabilia from early “talkie” movies, James Cagney notwithstanding. The design included a soda-jerk ice cream parlor and walk-up outdoor patio seating.
