The restaurant has permanently closed. Covid-19 ran it out of business. There is tarp on the door and the shades are closed so you really can't even get a peek at the art. Apparently it may open as art gallery some day, but I didn't see a date prediction for when it might reopen. Sad we didn't see it.

The host is a hoot. What are you celebrating? Life! Get the flaming lava cake for the upcharge. The four-course menu is very reasonably priced for a fancy restaurant, but reservations are required.
