Model Railroading > Restaurants With Model Railroads

No photos with this post, but, I recently saw on You Tube a place in Europe featured where food was delivered to customers by large scale model train.
As I recall, there used to be a place like this near the main rail station in Portland, Oregon.

Know that folks are on TO from all over the world, but I remember a place long closed by now
in Palo Alto, California called the Golden Sprike. They built quite and extensive layout going around the inside of the large area 
depicting the Transcontential railroad. I was there twice. food was not great but model railroad was. They ran 1800 era trains around
that folks could see close up as they ate.
Anyone remember this place or know of others like it?

The Choo Choo in Des Plaines, IL. They use three rail O trains to deliver food.

Not a resteraunt, but a hardware store down here in the town of Narrandera (australia), had LGB stuff on a track suspended from the ceiling .Last time I was in there there was an F7 and a string of ACF hoppers running around.

The Mountain Inn restaurant in Tehachapi had a layout in the 70s and I believe at least into the 80s

there was a place walking distance from the station, that served food out on LGB type trains
But the it was in Seattle, not  Portland. Best as I can recall.
See the Iron Horse Restaurant  in Wikipedia

We ate there about 10 years ago. Was wondering if it was still going strong.

Thanks for eveyone's input. I was particularly interested in places that had interesting HO layouts not
places where food was delived by model train. Guess there were very few of those.
At this Golden Spike place in Palo Alto, the narrow layout ran between the tables and wall, all
around the place so one could sit at unique sceniced locations depicting portions of the transcon
as it crossed the county. Detail of the Sierra crossing was well done while other places had minimal
scenery.
As I recall the trains they ran were very short and did not run well and were only operating during my
first visit.
Wish I could find evidence of this place and a few photos, but nothing turns up when I try to search.
Seems that it might of been called Promentary Point instead of Golden Spike.
