It works by putting in a menu that will draw diners in, doing the math to determine cost of goods and labor cost and then setting your menu prices. Then you hire great staff and prepare your food consistently and serve hot food hot and cold food cold.

Yes, there is a contingent of residents here who only want cheap BUT there is a larger and growing contingent who will not settle for slop and are willing to pay for quality. I don't see Blue Fin, Lopez, Palmers, or Chop House suffering.

The Lighthouse sits on a great venue and there is so much that could done there. I just don't see the current owners doing it.
