Nearly ten years ago, two brothers decided they wanted to open a restaurant different than anything else in Springfield. What they came up with was Ocean Zen, a one-of-a-kind restaurant featuring Pacific Rim style cuisine and a modern contemporary atmosphere. Pacific Rim is a unique style utilizing Asian cooking techniques. This style features both Western and Eastern ingredients, but everything is fresh in a style that is distinctly Californian.

Prefinished flooring comes with a factory-applied finish. An advantage to prefinished flooring is ease of installation—there is no need for sanding or applying finish on site; you simply nail it down and it's ready to go. However, because the finish is applied at the factory, you must accept the color(s) and the gloss level offered. Additionally, factory-applied finishes are much more difficult to sand and refinish, which means when the time comes you may need to replace the floor. Another consideration is that prefinished flooring has micro-bevels on the edges. These bevels are applied in order to smooth out the feel of the floor after it's been installed. An unintended consequence is that the bevels form tiny grooves that can collect dust and grime and make it more difficult to keep your floors clean.
