Restaurant & Bar Lighting Design
People decide how a restaurant feels in the first few seconds, and light does most of that work. We design restaurant and bar lighting with warm light on the tables, faces lit well and a room that changes easily between lunch and late evening. As restaurant lighting consultants, we work with owners, chefs and designers on the layout, the fixtures and dimming the staff can use without thinking about it.
A bar needs light in three places: on the counter, on the bottles behind it and on the faces of the people sitting there. The bar at The Chateau Grande in East Brunswick uses brass pendants over the counter with a cove-lit ceiling above, so the counter glows and the room around it stays soft.
The Chateau Grande projectIn a dining room, the table is the stage. Each table gets its own pool of light, with enough on the walls that the room doesn’t feel like a cave, and fixtures follow the actual seating plan. Warm, high-quality light makes food and people look their best.

Yes. We visit, review the room and the site conditions, and recommend changes. Sometimes new lamps, better dimmers and a few new fixtures make most of the difference.
Yes. Storefront windows, signs, entrances and patios can all be part of the design.
As early as you can, ideally while the layout is still on paper. It’s much easier to put light where the tables will be before the ceiling is built.
