"Dined here with my husband the week before it closed just to be able to say we did. Very sorry to see the place go. Really does make you feel like you are a part of history. Had a memorable meal. We will go back again to eat in the regular restaurant."

"Nothing can ever match it's history or charm...now it's gone, but if only for a while. In it's reincarnation, we'll see if it carries anything forward of it's former glow."
