Very happy to hear this news! The times I had patronized Justin's, it wasn't a place I wanted to stay for very long. It felt like a cave -- all dark woods, and bereft of light. Some creative lighting would be essential in changing the mood and character of the place.

Maybe some board games for casual place to grab some good local beers and spend an evening with friends? Also, please do a great brunch -- Madison Café good!

This is such awesome news. Not just that a new, non-Asian-restaurant business is opening, but the details of the plans sound great!
