Inside, the ceiling installation is designed to represent smoke and charred wood, which is also found in barbeques.

The undulating ceiling installation is composed of laser-cut MDF fins with a black finish, which contrasts the restrained palette of zinc and rift-sawn oak found throughout the rest of the restaurant.
