We are sad. They've closed one of our favorite restaurants. For whatever reason, the lease wasn't renewed. Or something like that. I don't really care about 'why'.
Already, we miss our favorite servers and bartender. They really made eating there a pleasure. Whenever we walked in, they seemed genuinely happy to see us. When the restaurant was crowded and there was a 30 minute wait, we didn't wait. They knew what we drank, how my Sweetie liked his steak, and they never forgot 'double spinach', no pasta. And, they told the truth when we asked, "Hows the . . . ?"
We took everyone there -- our mothers, my niece, CJ, friends, and colleagues. When we took my niece, our server made a big deal about personally mixing up a special drink for her. More recently, we hosted 8 of my Sweetie's closest friends as we celebrated his birthday.
Fortunately, many of the employees were absorbed into the chain's other local restaurants, including one of our favorite servers. So, we'll have just a little farther to go, but it will be worth it.
But, we're still sad.
