@blewis823 awesome pics!!! hehe. Thank you for your research!
@ST7_MTNMAN As blewis posted, the Japanese restaurant is Shimuzu. There are 2 other Maxis-made Gallery restaurants but I have not played those yet.
The weird thing is, I was able to get served at another table. Other patrons at other tables got served. I would not *think* then that the objects were out of place. The waiter could get to my table and back to the chef station. If there were problems with any of the necessary objects - chef station, hostess stand etc - I don't think any of the tables could get served. But who knows? In TS3 I knew almost every little tweak and detail for venues, but I'm still learning in TS4. There are 2 other tables on that outdoor patio, and the end one (furthest from door) has had patrons and been served. I don't remember anyone ever sitting in the one closest to the door the times I've been there. It will take some more gameplay for sure.
@blewis823 if you have time, will you test your renovated restaurant with the seat I used? It's the front patio, the middle table (there are 3 tables out there).
