Backstory
Music has always been an incredibly important part of my life. One of my majors in undergraduate was music (the other was economics, hence my forum name) and in real life, I play the piano, guitar, and sing the bass / baritone parts in a choir. So one day, I decided to make a somewhat music themed building, and eventually settled on a restaurant since I had just recently purchased the Dine Out game pack. The shape of the restaurant and the overall black and white theme is supposed to be an abstraction of an upright piano. The 8 horizontal lights in the front of the restaurant are supposed to represent the 4 spaces between music staves, staggered into two columns of 4 as a reference to half steps and whole steps in sheet music (technically it should have been a column of 4 and a column of 5, but that looked a bit cluttered). Finally, the name Sonata refers to a music composition for instruments, often accompanied by a piano.
