Sure, you could make such a unique and attractive restaurant that people would flock to it (and there are no guarantees of that) but wouldn't it be easier to flock to an easier to find location?
Jeff:

You are correct that the location in itself was not unique. However, the fact that a successful restaurant operated there for 40+ years and enjoyed a strong following does make the site unique. If a restaurant with similar charm and character were constructed on the site within the next few years many folks would return to give it a try and if they liked the product they would be repeat customers. Let's hope it happens but I agree the odds are not favorable.
