Trivia
The restaurant name, as seen on the wall plaque and embossed on the glass door, is shown to be "The Mirage". This is a reference to the fact that the entire restaurant environment is a digital illusion.

Crazy credits
During the opening credits, while the mysterious symbols are on screen, a rumbling drone and buzzing of a console can faintly be heard. This is the sound of the bunker control room/note room from later in the film, heard here charging up for attempt #112 that we're about to witness.
