Bang on. Their restaurants appeal to 23-35 year old yuppies who want to be seen. (and I say this as a 28-year old yuppie who lives the "condo lifestyle".)

To me, the Glowbal Group is just a tier above the Cactus/Joey/Earls "mafia" (the three people that run the these restaurants are brothers, after all) which isn't saying much.

The Glowbal Group is to the restaurant business as the Donnelly Pub Group is to the pub/club business.
