At that point in time, she had intended it to be a gourmet restaurant where people could listen to live music from time to time while eating their meals, which is why it had a stage added to it. However, the passage of time made the live music more and more popular, with the result that what was supposed to be occasional performances turned into regular performances.
Mix of Performers
