The vibe of a place not fitting the location is the most superficial complaint about a restaurant I have ever heard. Especially when it had little to nothing to do with why the place failed.
I can probably name off half a dozen places that don't 'fit their location'

Eh. I don't think it's a superficial complaint.
I just think the entire concept of the restaurant, including the complete disregard for making a name for themselves, is blah. The name is kinda blah. The food sounds kinda blah. The foot at LBT was DEFINITELY blah.
I wouldn't say that nothing could last there. I mean, look at Ruffinos. It is in a similar stretch of "nothing" and does fine. I just don't think Spice and LBT sound very good.. I can't really put my finger on it.
Like I said, they remind me of Portico.
BR is a really weird city as far as locations go. The location of Spice isn't really "the middle of nowhere", but people generally flock towards areas with tons of options nearby. Why that is? I have no idea. But it seems to be the case.
Kinda like that new Pats and how everyone keeps saying it is a bad location. Technically, it is only a mile or so from Towne Centre, but it is in a stretch that doesn't get restaurant traffic.
