A 2013 feature counted 10 to 15 employees, many of them family, a salad bar, a banquet room for 100, and a program that trained special-needs students from Memorial High School[3]. The brothers were alumni of nearby Memorial High School, where their father was principal at the time the restaurant opened. The restaurant was somewhat of a continuation of Pizza Oven West, including some of that menu, but added nightly specials and a Friday Fish Fry[4].

Closed some time prior to Sept, 2019 when the same location was mentioned as the site of a new chinese restaurant[5]. The closing date was Friday, June 3, 2016; the brothers turned to a new pub[6].

  • Application for liquor license in mid-April 2010[7].
