where? On the patio? I never sat outside so I'm not familiar with anything other than the interior or the parking lot.

I only found their food to be okay, but it’s sucks when a local business goes under.

Tried to eat on patio at olive yesterday. They are closed for what looked like major renovations.

It was in the former Calendars. It was Ahuua’s Mexican restaurant then Lassaigne’s Louisiana cuisine then the sushi place. I think that was the restaurants that were in there.

It was Frankie Marcello’s Italian for a bit too

RIP Rum House. It has fewer people when I had been more recently, but didn’t consider that it wouldn’t survive coronavirus

I don't understand why they didn't even try to do take out orders during the closure.

Part of me thinks that many restaurants are going to use this as a time to close if they were thinking of doing it anyway before the pandemic.

I don’t disagree with you but this place certainly wasn’t hurting and was consistently busy

ahh i've only been three times. Once when they first opened once for lunch and once for brunch. I don't know if we got off times but the last two visits weren't that great. Food was cold on brunch area, many dishes empty, etc.

a few years ago but really not so much recently. Most times I've been in the last year or so the only thing that seemed to be doing well was brunch, other than that probably not even half full. Their taco tuesday even stopped drawing a crowd.

I tried to go a few times when it was new and was always deterred by the crowds. Could never find parking, so I avoided it.
