Interesting rationale. However, this doesn't address the issue that none of the other CCs see the need to play late night entertainment and in fact many have no entertainment at all and they seem to do OK. If they would concentrate on quality food and good service they would do fine. Havana should take a lesson from them on this score. It is the closest to our neighborhood but no one wants to go there because of their poor service and mediocre food.
If they want to try some new concepts to bring people in, why not try indoor music - that's what a very popular restaurant where we used to live did. They had music that started around 8:30 or 9 as the dining wound down. That way people could eat and then stay in their seats to enjoy the music. The obvious benefit of this is that it is not dependant on the weather - too hot? too cold? too rainy? doesn't matter. The other benefit is that it doesn't annoy the neighbors.
