Nagoya closed within the last year as well. It's disappointing we are losing the restaurants as Jones Creek/Coursey area have almost everything in a small area. Will never say Outback was the greatest steaks, but our kids ate the steaks there.

We've lived jones creek area for 5 years now and went to portobellos maybe once. One of those places we never thought about to go eat and was never impressed with the food. We prefer.bisto Italia and where happy when they moved closer.

We definitely have hit City Cafe and Jasmines more often than any of the other restaurants around us.

Forgot about the Japanese restaurant. You're correct. Even the snowball stand in the Hi Nabor lot is leaving the area. This area is so heavily populated the closing of restaurants is disturbing.

I have no idea what the deal really is, but my first thought was that a lot of people on that side of town are more willing to drive to the other side of town to eat. The reverse isn't really the case.

So, these spots are mostly just serving people who work and live close, whereas the other side of town gets people from all over willing to make the drive.

True. And so far from any tourism, LSU pregame traffic, and downtown conventions. I have to think these properties will reinvent themselves at some point.
