More importantly, that wall shows it's not nearly ready to open.

That’s the back of a construction wall.

Even the Space 220 sign isn't wearing it's mask properly!

Are we sure the cinder blocks aren’t part of the theming?
Something's gotta anchor the space elevator.
Watched some Dolph Lundgren movies years ago. He's on a Soviet boomer, nuke missile sub. Chasing somebody, I dont' remember the plot. There's all this huge pipe, gate valves, steel beams and then he runs up a set of concrete stairs complete with steel handrails. Those Soviets...they sure knew how to build 'em back then!
So a few cinderblocks up in orbit? Think of it as radiation shielding.
(probably filmed at a power plant)

Looks like they have started testing the rocket that will take you to the resturant.

It looks like they used the party hats they hand out for the New Years Eve parties.

Looks great. I am looking forward to seeing it in person someday..
The window size looks more realistic even in a future with shields or whatever.
But I wonder if the ceiling height has stayed high - if the spaciousness of the place is right, the proportions.
A big room with a narrow short line of windows feels different than a big room with wide tall line of windows

Is it just me or do the tables under the windows look exceptionally tiny? They don't look big enough to hold two drinks and two plates of food. Maybe they are some sort of reserved seats just for people to have drinks with no food.
The window size is disappointing. I was hoping for massive views out into "space", although it's possible that there's more than one set of windows.

I honestly think it is just the angle that makes us think it is a lot smaller. The change in elevation isn't shown in the photo so our brain doesn't really have a reference for anything. Those windows look pretty big imho.

Looking at the latest concept art, it lines up with 2 tables per window:
It's probably just a trick of the perspective as well as people being so close to the camera.

I agree with @UNCgolf, those tables look awfully tiny, smaller in depth/width than the booth seats. It looks like a standard size reusable water bottle in the middle of the table to the right. I suppose those could just be mounting plates for a bigger tabletop...hopefully.
