    They had labor problems. The word was that they were retaining the tips and not properly sharing them with the waiters. There was a picket line with strikers, and other people working as strikebreakers. The food and service deteriorated seriously and there was less customers. I liked them up until my last visit there. I feel bad that they are gone.

      There was a fire awhile ago (months?) In the kitchen, I think It's suppose to reopen, no word on when. Sorry I don't have any more info, Newsday has mentioned it several times
