    I think the "Danger" sign should be inside the restaurant... imagine the roof caved in!

    Wouldn't say so, I'm not an architect or engineer but the slope of the roof is too straight for it to be called a corbelled roof like the Galarus Oratory. I'd bet my own house that there are rafters supporting that roof and if those are real stones on the roof I'd say they're steel rafters!

    Not a place they would get away with serving it 'stone' cold.
