This concept keeps in mind the wide audience that you cater to. It is simple and elegant, which I think is exactly what a restaurant should have for a logo. Something that is easy to read and easily recognizable. The framing flourishes elicit a feeling of a place that has a history while the typography has a modern touch with the combination of a serif and script typeface. This can easily be applied to a very earthy color palate or done up in black/white/grey to really dress it up.
Dozigner.. thanks for the submission and the articulation of concept. I like it, but would like something a bit more modern, with an urban, cool, edge. We are more bar-esque with food as a compliment... Here is a style I like.. though do not need a replica of this http://www.frankwhitenyc.com/.
Just my first look.. so I will give it some time and come back.
