Chowder's Snack Shack is a very nice restaurant for Brindleton Bay :) It suits the world well. The crabs signage looks great and the faded posters on the wall do give a great look to the venue. It is very nice that there is both indoors and outdoors dining areas. The colourful umbrella covered picnic dining tables and the colourful dining chairs indoors look great! It is nice that there is an outdoors bar for sims to enjoy having a drink with their meal from the bar. The pawprints on the ground leading up to the front door is a great idea! The ship’s wheel and the fishing net are nautical touches on the interior walls, and the string of footwear lighting is nice and summery. Sims will enjoy dining there! :)
Your future ideas sound good, but how the restaurant is set up now is great also.
