They don't lose that many seats. I think there are maybe 4 tables that sit a max of 6 people each. I liked it because it was open air. If you had a noisy group it was a good place to sit since you wouldn't disturb people.
I thought that once they shored up the restaurant back last November, that it would be re-opened, but as of beginning of March it was still closed. I never did get to ask what the plans were for it.
