I think the re-model is great! There's still an original oriental rug on the stage upstairs, and people still pee on the seat in the bathroom(s?), and they acknowledged the fact that, although labeled M & F, folks used whichever wasn't occupied.
The area where we had our session was quite cozy. I suppose it could be a function space, or just regular seating. It's also nice to not have staff that likes us. (The wait-person did, but I used to feel like the kitchen guys hated us.)
Big thumbs up!
