This new foyer was formed from a small banquet room at the Rubaiyat of 341 S. Main and an existing entry area was turned into a third cocktail lounge. The foyer has multiple seating for guests waiting to be seated in the restaurant. Its simulated vaulted ceiling, board and batten paneling, oriental tapestries, art objects from India and wine "cellar" add notes of luxury to the space. The design work was done by the restaurant's owner. He did much of the construction work himself.
