Personally, I will not miss any restaurant that goes away. The restaurant offerings will only get better when the Coronavirus crisis is over. I am interested in what others think.
My local Chinese takeout reopened over the weekend, I went Friday night and they were busy. Take out was running about twice the normal "10 minute" and I was one of six waiting and two others pulled in as I was leaving.

If the place is (was) good the people will return when they can. One woman in line was getting 7 dinners and said this was her first take out since the virus started.
