I don't know, I've always had an aversion to cherub artwork. Something about babies used in general used in art bugs me. There is a billboard close to where I live that has a picture of a baby's head and it says "Advertise here, baby!" I hate it.

I find Baby art creepy too, Anne Gedes, or whatever her name is, is the devil, lol. Can't stand that stuff and don't get me started on Precious Moments. I'm not sure why the cherubs don't bother me much.

So we'll have this elegant dining space, and a completely inelegant dining experience.< This is exactly my problem with a lot of the WDW restaurants. The ones that do it right, like the California Grill, are sadly the exceptions. It really takes away from a fine dining experience when you're almost shoulder to shoulder with the folks at the next table.
