Cozumel's (outside Cortana Mall)


Surprised he lasted as long as he did. Was always bouncing paychecks to his employees and payroll taxes.

And speaking of bouncing checks, you forgot about Champps on Corporate!

It's a shame that so many accept the notion that the restaurant scene in BR must somehow be basically a zero sum game.

I honetly havent been to LA Lagniappe in months because it has been too busy.. I cant stand having to wait 50 min for a table unless I go very early. Anyone know if this is true that it has slacked off?

The last time we went, a few months back, we had about a 15 minute wait and this was before 6 pm on a Friday.

Right-I would say that more places have opened up than are closed.
