  1. So odd. So it’s an “exit only” door, suggesting that there’s another way for the entrance. Do they expect people to be like Plastic Man, undo the round cover, and enter that way?

    A minor error is that “We will be closed for Easter Sunday”. They really mean “We will be closed this Sunday for Easter Sunday”.

  2. The door is labeled Exit Only but the green sign on the walkway below the door FCC says Entrance for phone /online orders.

  3. Maybe the reflection of the cyclist-photographer on the door glass -he’s got a huge upper body for a very little thing leg

  4. Very interesting photo, and the only problem with it is that it looks very unusual. At first glance, it seems like an exit from the building, when in fact it is an entrance. That big horseshoe on the door is also weird.

  5. The name of restaurant is Aqui, which is visible from outside. But the sign says exit only, that means people will get put through thay door. Then sign should be visible from inside now t outside. Therefore mirror image should be visible from outand correct image from inside! So that customers can read correct name from inside while exiting.

  6. Two conflicting signs “exit only” by the door and “entrance” mark on the ground.

    I haven’t been to this restaurant, I wonder what other signs could be found inside— the more reason not to come.

  7. Exit only but it also says entrance below .. haha! I’m surprised that got passed the owners. They have great attention to detail.

  8. Like a play on Alice in Wonderland – enter through the little hole in the ground and exit through the big horseshoe-adorned door.
