Here's my first restaurant, The Green Door:

It cost about $15,000 to make.

A few days later, I upgraded to this:

The shot was taken right after opening, so no one's been seated yet.

Here's my restaurant I made awhile ago in anticipation of this pack. It started out as a lounge but I've re-classified and converted it to a restaurant. Have it around 3 stars atm but only been playing it for a little while. It's in the gallery under the name kamxam13 as Roman Around Bistro V3: (Added more pics today)
NOTE: I removed the lounge in the previous version and converted it into another kitchen and dining area. (Also added an employee lounge) Will need extra chef and waiters to use effectively.
Roman Around Bistro V2.1 of this has the lounge and only the left restaurant.
It is a 40x30 lot size and IS expensive but it's classy...:

I forgot to take a screenshot from upstairs, I've got toilets there, the kitchen and a hangout for my family.

Nice! Always good to have more creations out there.

(I tend to sometimes like creating stuff more than playing sometimes I think..lol)

While not entirely happy with it, here's my first try, a little seaside joint called Pier 42. Surf and Turf menu and available on the gallery. It's uploaded as Pier 42 and my Origin ID is MissTrips if you want to download it. No CC but lots of stuff packs.

Walk down the pier and chat with the host, then have a seat and relax until your table is ready!

Every seat has a lovely outside view of the harbor!

Bathrooms are color coded for your convenience!

All seating is well above the waves, so no need for swimsuits!

Here are a few pictures of my first restaurant. I created this restaurant for my Build-A-City Challenge when Get To Work first came out. It never operated much like a restaurant then. It was more of a restaurant supply store. All of the furniture, décor, and restaurant equipment were for sale. It was very successful.

The restaurant is modeled after a restaurant that I worked at for about two years when I was sixteen. I actually met my husband(ex) there. I started out as a dishwasher, then I was promoted to bus girl, and then to counter girl. The sandwiches were named after some of the neighborhood professionals it served. There was "The Banker", "The Lawyer", and "The Pilot". My favorite was the banker...sliced roast beef sandwich on white bread, cut in half, with a mound of mash potatoes between the two halves and smothered with brown gravy. It was served with green beans and a dinner roll. Yum! Their chili was amazing too! The owner also made homemade pie on the weekends. They were open for breakfast. Another menu favorite was the roast chicken served with mash potatoes and dressing. I have most of these dishes on my menu in the game.

My sim has had the restaurant open for three shifts. It is already 4 stars. The customers really like the décor. Bon Appetite!

Note: The small tables in front were actually small booths and the tables along the windows in the back room were also booths.

I'm enjoying seeing everyone's wonderful restaurants!

Wow these are absolutely stunning restaurants. I went with small, kept the host central to the tables so she could seat better and for the most part stayed around 4.5 stars, I didn't buy perks in my restaurant so I could test them a bit later. I think they are just about the only way to stay reliably at 5, though it's really an arbitrary thing. Just paying a bit for advertising gives you the maximum amount of Sims you can have on a lot, anyway. I can definitely learn some lessons in decorating from you guys, as that's its main shortcoming. Mine is the one presented on all my guide pages

Here's my first one. I went for a cozy, colorful, hipsterish cafe feel, partly because I got the Movie Hangout Stuff Pack only recently and I'm in love with the furniture~

I never actually named it

It's themed towards coffee/tea, breakfast food, and desserts. After the second day, I was already at 3 stars.

Here's the exterior, with some outdoor seating. No pictures of the side or back, because they're a lot less picturesque. Landscaping, you are thine enemy.

And the interior. I'll probably have to extend more, as I get more customers. You can see the eating area and the back hall leading to the bathroom and kitchen.

The entrance, featuring my sim/restaurant owner. I'm still undecided if I want to remove the couches I have in front, as customers will sometimes sit and eat at them. However, it seems they mostly just wait for their tables there.

And the eating area, which I quite like. Someone in one of the threads mentioned that groups of 4 rarely show up, and they were right. I haven't had one yet. So, I built the area with that in mind.

Annndddd that's it. I don't feel the need to show off the kitchen or bathroom, as they're both fairly simple, and it's the outdoors and eating area I'm most proud of. It was nice to decorate for once, as most of my simming time has gone to the Apocalypse Challenge.

I was talking with @oshizu about Dining out and randomly had an idea for a Pajama Ice Cream Party. So this is how it turned out. I've already put it on the gallery and plan to put it here on the boards when I figure out how!

Here is Sleepy Sundaes! Serves only ice cream, fruit, coffee and tea!
