I have two statements in my notes, about a restaurant on the first floor. One
is a neutral statement, one is talking about things on the first floor. I am
not entirely sure of the context to use them in. Could somebody help please?

> 一階に レストランが あります - There is a restaurant on the first floor (neutral
> statement)
>
> 一階には レストランが あります - On the first floor there is a restaurant. (Talking about
> what is on the first floor).

I think the second example には might be used when discussing the first floor,
and perhaps the conversation is about all the shops etc. there. But I am
unsure.
