Restaurants have something like a 90% failure rate. That's not to say don't do it, but make sure the muscle behind the project actually knows the restaurant business first hand. If it's you (a creative) and a magician (a creative), you better have someone on your team who's able to tell you both no to just about every hair-brained idea, keeping only the most brilliant of hair-brained ideas. And be prepared to 1-work 80 hours a week, 2-have wait staff steal from you, not show up, show up drunk... 3-have zero people appreciate your vision.

If you can make an investment of maybe 1 year's worth of that inheritance and consider it a gift not to be returned, then I say go for it.

But I think a better use of that money would be focusing a few years on your craft, hoofing it to auditions, getting makeup and costuming gigs, etc. My fear is you'd rock on the project of developing the restaurant and want to stab yourself in the face once it's open.
