It is a lot quieter when the food is on the table
Too bad that another nice little family run restaurant is closing its doors for good.
It was within walking distance from where I worked. So in those years between 1974 and 1999 I used to eat here at least once a week. First when it was owned and operated by Jack Lee then since 1989 by the present owner. In the past 15 years however I would eat here barely once a month.
