It was the poor location that did it in. I enjoyed my one and only dining experience there years ago, but the relative inaccessibility (look at those ridiculous intersections) and seedy neighbourhood do not make for a good upscale casual dining restaurant.

“Pissed at your own city?” That’s just economics buddy. It’s not the responsibility of citizens to patronize restaurants out of charity.

Unless a restaurant has a very solid foundation to stand on during a recession, then fine-dining is just not going to be a resilient business.
