We go there once or twice a year and its not far. It's not Chicago, New York, San Francisco, or even Miami fine dining but It could suffice for us semi- sophisticated TV residents. Otherwise, you just might have to go elsewhere for the real fine dining.

Your argument is valid and diplomatic but the bottom line question is this.
Would a fine dining restaurant survive here year 'round? I think if it would, it would be here. A poster said that they go off campus for "special occasions". Fine dining costs very upwards of a hundred for two as you all know.
Not something most of us want to do a couple of times a week especially now that we are not in our peak employment income.
And in answer to another posters statement about having to eat before a show. In high season, we grab something at home. I think that Virtual Geezer is correct that they are not going to hold tables and have a long line of people look at empty tables. Oh the hue and cry.
The restaurants here must "make hay while the sun shines" as we midwesterners are heard to say. They have to make the money in high season to get through the slow season. It is just a fact of life and survival here in the restaurant business and economics 101.
