Having a restaurant in TV is a tough business. The operating margin is tight anyway, and many don't really plan them as "seasonal," which is really the situation here. Once the snowbirds have left, the customer base drops significantly, and most of the remaining year-round folk are comfortable to look outside of TV for dining and entertainment. That makes things even more competitive.
