Me and my cousins are chefs building a restaurant in south Korea. We are currently working on e interior of the place, where we have tried to mimic an old fashioned classical design, to comfort our customers and making them feel cozy, while enjoying the beautiful river view with the fresh nature surroundings. Try picturing a big three story cabinwood house infront of a lake surrounded by gorgeous looking trees and flowers, served with the best steak and lobster and even pasta as a course meal while ending with a delicious dessert or I famous cup of joe(coffee). but the main problem we have is thinking of a good name for the restaurant.we have some few names but I would like some opinions on other peoples perspectives and ideas on the name for our restaurant. Original name was called:West Lake Cafe Other name we have thought of: - The riverbank view - The Cabinwood Steakhouse - Natures view - West Lake View - Woodys leaf - Fresh Air or The Fresh Breeze - Foxy’s Cabin Please help us look for more names and ideas. Thank you -J ---

This thread will probably get better traction in MPSIMS than in ATMB, so I will move it for you. ---

Most people here call those types of houses “camp”, “lodge” or “cottage” How about combining those words somehow, for example: Wood Lodge Steakhouse or Camp Lodge Steakhouse etc. ---

Foxy’s? Foxes are pretty much dogs. You might as well call the place Gunga Yeller or Snoopy’s. I do like “Woody’s” just like that, though. ---
