Not only that they were dark and you could get lost in them. They had booths and private walls where you couldn't just walk in the front door and see everyone like an open office under one giant spotlight. I dig the new modern warehouse style like Chipotle's but everything is too open with little personality. Restaurants used to be like a labyrinth in some restaurants, all dark and adventurous where noise didn't carry, now it is a GAP/Apple Store in the mall. Back in the day with arcades and flair, I guess I miss it. Everything looks the same. One day Ronald McDonald, dark booth labyrinths and flair will return. Famous Dave's BBQ has some of this like Fridays/Cracker Barrel and I like it, fun to look around and you can't see everyone either.
