Mon, 29 May 2000 02:04:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author vennerl - CLOSED OR MOVED without address in window/message on phone. Should probably either find out new location information (why isn't in the window or on a phone message if they are in business???) or remove the restaurant from the list.... This is for the...
