Look, has anyone eaten there? Trust me, the quality of the food is suspect and the service is about the same as the food. The fear of closing is as much to do with the owners as it is anything else. But, boy can they get a mint for a corner property in Burbank!
16,000 jobs lost already.. it's like the Bankers want to bankrupt all these commercial rental properties so they can buy up Paradise for a Bargain. There are now talks of another wage increase.
California's $20-an-hour minimum wage applies only to fast-food restaurants with 60 or more locations nationwide. However, the statewide minimum wage was also raised to $16.50, which isn’t helping this restaurant either.
The owner has likely increased menu prices by over 50% in the past two years to offset rising costs for food, rent, insurance, and energy—just like every other restaurant in the area. The result? Empty tables. This is guy is going to have a lot of company soon because California is busy decimating small retail businesses too.
I was sad to see Alioto’s in San Francisco close after over 100 years. I loved that place. I can’t find lobster thermador like that anywhere else. I had been going there since 1966.
what is a 20% minimum wage?? Did he mean $20 a hour??
I meant 20 dollars.
Sorry.

Whether it was Covid or the minimum wage increase the bottom line is their reason(s) for closing was government caused.
Ronald Reagan said, "Government is not the solution, but the cause."
Translation, all these government idiots should fry for causing all these problems.
