HDL has a zoomable version of this image - you can find it here. It's part of a set of five pictures which are dated 2/18/1955. Sadly, the location is only given as California, and my initial searches have only yielded Pinterest and Flickr copies of the same image. The photographer was Joseph Fadler. Here's a view of the restaurant from the same set.

The three interior shots appear to have been taken during the day. This is the most interesting.

I also found a second photoset at HDL that appears to show The Willows at a different location. The photos are also by Joseph Fadler, and are dated 3/17/1954. The other two images in this set again show interior views.
