THEME RESTAURANTS The concept of the restaurant takes
priority over everything else, influencing the architecture, food, music, and overall 'feel' of the restaurant.
The food usually takes a backseat to the presentation of the theme
These restaurants often attract customers solely on the premise of the theme itself.
