Restaurants

A dining room where the seating may include names not on the reservation book. Restaurant dossiers typically follow the earlier lives of the building — a hotel, a house, a storefront — with reports attaching to rooms the current business keeps open and to staff who learn the reputation on shift. The archive records what was reported and where in the building; it makes no claims about the menu.
