I have been to a lot of really great restaurants that have less then 20 tables, where the chef is the owner, his wife runs the business, helps serve, and maybe one waiter/waitress and someone who cleans tables. And the food and service is impeccable. Have found these in NY. Boston, Long Island, Charleston, and many many other places. These are the type of places I would go for a really good meal, a special occasion, and the demographics of TV would support probably 3 of these places. Maybe the best locations would be outside the bubble because of the high rents inside. You don't need a million people to support a really good place. In fact most are usually in smaller towns. Most of you will spend $30 to $40 a person for dinner at most of the places around town, why not $60 to $75 for that birthday celebration, or anniversary. It's only once or twice a year.
