Starlite, the hip restaurant located on Colorado Street in Downtown Austin, offers visitors to the space two distinct but connected dining atmospheres. The lower floor offers dining guests a more modern and casual feeling, with wooden tabletops, airy furniture arrangements and high ceilings.

100108starlite-02.jpg The newly renovated upstairs offers dinner guests a more intimate and formal atmosphere, featuring cozy banquettes, lower ceilings and soft lighting. The restaurant’s second bar is located on the upper floor and is accompanied by a modern and comfortable living room area. The upper floor gives off the impression of a swanky loft more than a public restaurant.

That first photo kind of makes it look like a senior's center.

i do love starlite, and almost everyone that works there is a good friend of mine, including the chefs, but they still need to get rid of that damn rug/carpeting. some dark or reused hardwoods, even scored concrete would work way better.
