Max and Ermas was great for kids and they LOVED the free self serve Sunday bar.

Hungry Fisherman was fun, but when my 31 yo daughter was a toddler over on that island, we were charged by a big male swan.I tripped and fell backwards and had to fight the thing off with kicks while holding the toddler!

Any idea why this happened - just competing with too many other new restaurants? The concept and location seem feasible, and Yelp doesn't show a consistent drop in quality/service.

You have to keep in mind that if stores can't pay rent and leases, then the shopping centers and landowners can't make any money and pay their fees either. It affects everybody. Have a little optimism, let April pass.
If you read my posts on COVID, I've been optimistic. Also pragmatic. We are going to see 15-20% of restaurants and small businesses go under due to this overreaction. Maybe some of them deserve to close due to being on life support prior to COVID.

If we are lucky, some places will start re-opening in May. People may be still hesitant to sit in a restaurant full of people for a while after that.

Probably a mix of factors but overall I think the demographic and price point they were targeting in this area has shifted a lot more towards preferring local restaurants. In larger metros I think they were getting it twofold from local places as well places like Magganios.

Can anyone tell me what Chinese places are open aside from the overpriced chains? I had promised my son Chinese last night and every time I called a place the phone was disconnected. It's a good thing my freezer is (or was) full of Indian dinners and other items that i could just microwave for dinner!

Yellow Ginger is not your typical Chinese Restaurant, but if you like Asian cuisine, it’s the best in town. We eat there every week. They are open for take out. Phone number is 605-7551.
