English to German Art/Literary Tourism & Travel Reisemagazin/ Restaurant-Beschreibung

Table One is the elite dining room in the sweet spot of the Hotel Bel-Air kitchen. Up to eight guests sip cocktails and nibble appetizers in the kitchen and then gather around a carved pine table in a soundproof, air-conditioned room with giant picture windows overlooking the culinary floorshow. Chef Bruno Lopez orchestrates the action. “People who come to Table One are very well-educated when it comes to food and wine,” he says, “and it’s always pleasant to talk with them about it.” Only one party is booked per night, so guests have the table for the duration. “We don’t rush them. We have a dedicated maitre d’ the whole time, so it really feels special in there,” Lopez says. Dining stove-side in the ***nerve centre*** of a premier restaurant is an empowering experience, similar to occupying front-row seats at a sold-out concert.

Wie würdet ihr hier "nerve centre" übersetzen? Ich habe es erstmal so übersetzt:

Direkt neben dem Herd zu dinieren, wo alle Stricke des Spitzenrestaurants zusammenlaufen, ist ein besonderes Privileg. Man fühlt sich wie auf den Logenplätzen in einem ausverkauften Konzert.

Wie findet ihr die Idee mit "wo alle Stricke zusammenlaufen"?
