A new restaurant destined to fail

Tweet

I've lived in this micro-area for almost 18 years. It is pretty much a blue collar area except for the million dollar waterfront homes on the river. These days Trump flags are often seen. A long time restaurant closed and was sold a year or 2 ago. It was bought by Orthodox Jewish people with the intention of turning it into a kosher meat restaurant. Today was the first day that I think they were open for a "soft open". Lamb chops are $90 and with no side. A veal chop is $76. A side of brussel sprouts is $21. SERIOUSLY? $21 for brussel sprouts. Most people don't even want to eat them for free on a good day. I saw some chicken entree that was just $40 but the prices are just off the charts. They may have a good concept but they picked the wrong location. This is a middle-class area without a big population of Orthodox or Hasidic Jewish residents who will patronize it.
