To clear up misconception .......

The restaurant itself did not "fail", per se. The problem was with
the then present landlord and trying to move
the restaurant to a new location...which failed because of the 'new'
landlords own problems. The restaurant itself was hugely popular and
an "institution" and had been open since 1980.

Trust me, I have had many hours of introspection on why it was good,
where it could have used more or less, etc.
I'm not going about this in a haphazarad manner.

I guess that means it failed as a business for non-food related
reasons. Still, the customers woiuldn't or couldn't migrate along
with the restaurant .... for some reason. As customers, we have
followed well-liked places from one location to another, so it can
happen. (For that matter, we have followed chefs from one restaurant
to another. [dim sum, not celebrity]) With all the things that can
go wrong on the business end, it's a wonder when any small restaurant
succeeds....Good luck. -aem

The customers couldn't follow, Aem.......left out high and dry with no
place to go because the new landlord who
was supposed to lease the new space for the restaurant did not due to
his own problems. One of those unfortunate
situations with no options.
