Don't like tile floors in restaurants, they amplify the noise. Don't like to eat my annual steak au poivre in a noisy environment. I realize that it could be an age related aversion. <br />As always, YMMVWalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06416518509228779720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-57944317929169082742014-04-30T18:44:14.890-04:002014-04-30T18:44:14.890-04:00that block exists to sell legal drugs to people, t...that block exists to sell legal drugs to people, thats it. nygrumpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-23294151009009135892014-04-30T17:18:20.985-04:002014-04-30T17:18:20.985-04:00Lasted long as thethe span of their target custome...Lasted long as thethe span of their target customers. <br />Another transient trendeatery for the transient trendeaters.5;18pmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-46952607324539611542014-04-30T16:25:00.693-04:002014-04-30T16:25:00.693-04:00This place hasn't been full of diners since th...This place hasn't been full of diners since the Cucina de Pescae people ran Fruiti de Mara here. That's the last time it was affordable. I doubt the new place will be affordable either, and give it a year, and it will be something else.

Bouki's, the Greek restaurant, already in its second incarnation, is also looking like it is closed with stacked tables and chairs for weeks while the sign still says Closed for Renovations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-58912663493645605192014-04-30T10:43:05.077-04:002014-04-30T10:43:05.077-04:00I ate there once on the first day that they opened...I ate there once on the first day that they opened after Sandy. They only had appetizers. They were good. the prices in general were high & similar to all the restaurants in the EV. They were always really busy so it's depressing that they are closing. Perhaps it's more of a "partner" type decision.xootrmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-47763951952296308522014-04-30T10:33:28.943-04:002014-04-30T10:33:28.943-04:00I hated Calliope.
