That's called a Brazilian tree line.

I wonder what kind of wood all those red carved pillars are?

The busyness, the intensity of pattern and color in the restaurant are familiar, after decades of association with Russian/Asian culture, but I find it claustrophobic. Beautiful craftsmanship, but not my cup of tea.
