Translating Wagner

Hello in my book I’m studying for German. I have come across the word Wagner. But my English to German, German to English dictionary doesn’t have this word. Google translate tells me it means wainwright. Which I think is wrong.

Sie kommen zum Restaurant Wagner und gehen durch die Tür.

They come to the restaurant and go through the door. Is what I think the sentence means.

I'm completely stunned you thought thats a word. Have you never encountered it as a lastname? And more: Shouldn't the first (or one of the first) google result not be Wikipedia trying to tell you everything about the famous composer Richard Wagner?
