On our visits to Jeffrey Paul’s Chop House, Jeffrey would stop by each table and ask about your dinners. I can’t recall his exact words but he was not a fan of Villagers. He claimed they were both cheap and demanding. Steaks in those days were about half the price of today.

I got the general impression from Jeffrey that he was tired of being a restauranteur. I never doubted that it’s was a demanding career. In any event, we were sorry when he finally closed.
