Whether the challenge is merely placing furniture in a simple space, or an ambitious structural project, restaurants and bars are the sites of our most expressive architecture; more ephemeral than larger facilities or entire buildings, they are more apt to capture the mood of the times... Here are places where design, architecture, food, and drink come together in inspiring combinations ranging from minimalist to extravagantly baroque." -- Front cover, flap ER -
