“Yes, I want people to eat my food..but I want people to know who we are, through my artwork.”  

                                                                                                                          -Alexandra Miles

I feel like this is the best sentence in her mission statement, it really gets across the concept of her place and you can decide whether or not you would like to go their based on this sentence.  "Mission statements should be meaningful and specific yet motivating. They should emphasize the company's strengths in the marketplace. Too often, mission statements are written for public relations and lack specific workable guidelines." (Pg. 41) She did this effectively and made it sound both appealing and affordable at the same time. 

 "I think people can walk by, and they see the menu. It’s not intimidating and the food is interesting. If they get good food, friendly service in a nice environment, people will come back and tell their friends..."  
"I will educate myself about new ingredients we can find at the vegetable market, or the fish market. Also, to go to exciting Japanese restaurants, visit some shrines and temples and hopefully still see a few cherry blossoms..."
 "The design is really the backdrop to great food and great service. It is the happy customer who makes the ambiance of the restaurant inviting and exciting. So I always believe great food, great service and wonderful customers put into the right space, will make a successful restaurant..."
