I didn't have high expectations for this new restaurant in town but my friend and I had dinner there last week and it was better than I thought it would be!
That's always a positive in my book, what kind of food was it?  What were your reservations about the restaurant before going?
It was seafood and no, they weren't. Usually the restaurants in that particular building don't last long  at all.
Is it in a bad part of town or is the building just bad luck or run down?
