English term or phrase: [...] at this chintz-filled cottage, nestled on a power shopping block, [...]
I am having trouble with the translation of the description of this restaurant, presumably The Ivy in Los Angeles.

at this moment I have [...] in dit met sits gevulde restaurant in cottagestijl, ingeduffeld tussen machtige winkelketens, [...]

but as it seems I cannot find more information on the subject.

The whole sentence: “The cobb salad at this chintz-filled cottage, nestled on a power shopping block, is the lunch of choice."

Any suggestions?

Many thanks in advance!
