The year my family ate there was the 2004-2007 time frame during a vacation visit.

I don't recall the kind of food, but to the best of my memory it was on the outskirts of downtown, along a sidewalk, and the (very) large main window was often removed during nice weather. Some passersby had the same double-take reaction walking by as we did: "Wait, what the...it looks like there's no window there..!"

That was the reason we stopped and ate there, haha. We were fortunate, and got a table right by the window. It was a blast.

Does anyone know the name of this restaurant?

Like this perhaps?

Yes, very much. Just different setting and style.

Unfortunately, I don't have the specific name of the restaurant you're describing, but your description of it is quite intriguing. Perhaps someone else who reads this might have dined there and can help identify the place. It seems like a restaurant worth revisiting if it still exists.
