The storefront along 13th  Avenue also allows pedestrians a view into the restaurant activity and brings light deep into the restaurant space. Two ceramic tile walls with large porthole windows break the rhythm of the storefront to give the elevation proportion and scale, help to obscure the new seismic braces that have been added to strengthen the buildings structure, and to emphasize the seafood focus of the restaurant. Materials such as metal siding and roofs were selected to respect the historic nature of the building. A muted palette of yellows, beiges, and grays are incorporated into the exterior so as to correlate well with the existing brick.
