Guests waiting for a table at the La Grelha Restaurant will be exposed to the warm Guadalajara air as they sit in an indoor-outdoor waiting room equipped with special curtain wires so that vegetation may grow up the walls. The restaurant offers patrons a unique dining experience that would make top off any trip to Mexico! **Implications** - As consumers continue to undoubtedly follow suit with eco-movements, there has been a direct development in the architectural world.
