In the spring of 2009 the facility went through an extensive remodel and expansion with updates to electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems, a new roof, water heaters, grease traps, and audio system. A complete wine bar with 44 new seats and second full kitchen was added to accommodate new evening business.

Furniture, fixtures, flooring and decoration throughout are high quality.
