After about an half hour or so they arrived at their destination. Kotetsu took out the money and handed it to the cab driver that gave him some change as he held the door open for Jayson. The place was nice with it's ivory walls and red clay roof. The mural outside was that of a vineyard in Italy with a sunset in the background. The inside was nice as it had various seating (mainly booth focus) with some stringed lights in forms of grapes decorating the walls with some vines. In the center was a very nice wine and spirits bar that went up a wall as a scrolling ladder.
Before entering the main dining area, a young woman in a uniform was there at the podium as she smiled and greeted the two gentlemen. Kotetsu walked up to her and asked for a booth and when he gave her his name, she smiled and opened a red reservations book.
"This way and you two actually have a reservation," she smiled softly and took them to their table. It was in the corner with a semi-circular booth and even though there were people there, they were too absorbed into their own conversation to take note of them.
"Your waiter will be with you shortly," she said as she bowed to them and left.
"This place hasn't changed at all..." smiled Kotetsu as he looked around and muttered. "Guess he's one step ahead of me..."
