Workers say the dinner business is no longer enough to justify staying open, although the lunch crowd is always good. I'll miss the place, since I currently have breakfast there two or three times a week. Sunday's supposed to be their last day.

Don't really understand the "slow dinner crowd" statement, though, since it doesn't seem to have changed much over the years. I suspect that the rent went up while the customer count remained the same.

It will be interesting to see what happens with the space.

It would be funny if it reopened as a Mimi's cafe.

Overall sales were up again for SSQ restaurants again in 2008.
