[edit] History
The restaurant first opened in 1917. [1] Late in 1985 there was a fire in the kitchen but they were able to reopen. [2]
It is a popular spot for many celebrities because of its secluded private yet hip atmosphere.
[edit] The Murals
The restaurant's famous murals were painted by Howard Chandler Christy. There are six panels of wood nymphs - the first of which were completed in 1934. Other Christy works on display include paintings such as The Parrot Girl, The Swing Girl, Ponce De Leon, Fall, Spring, and the Fountain of Youth. [3]
