You know a delicious dining experience doesn’t just involve the cuisine, but also the ambiance that surrounds it. Today’s diners are coming to expect warm and modern atmospheres from all types of commercial dining spaces. Because of this, restaurant designers are finding ways to harmonize the menu and design using wood furniture.

It’s no surprise. Wood restaurant chairs are comfortable, durable, and downright gorgeous. They offer a warmth and sophistication you can’t get with an all metal chair. In honor of their beauty and functionality, here are three of our favorite restaurant designs that showcase their modern identities with the help of wood seating.
