The Garden in the Autumn:

I was walking around the neighborhood the other day and I noticed a lot of overgrown gardens. Gardens that were inspiring in the spring, beautiful in the summer, had now become overgrown and unruly in the autumn. Restaurant outdoor cafés take on that haphazard unattended look as the autumnal equinox approaches. Gardens are also a metaphor for your capital improvement projects. Too often a restaurateur will put off changing the design, colors or furniture of a restaurant until the place looks old, tired and totally uninviting. Look around today, is your restaurant clean, updated and fresh?
