All Brass and Leather

What is your favorite restaurant?

They had a lounge area of dark wood, crystal, glass, and brass hardware. Highback armchairs of dark brown buttery leather dotted along the main floor around a splatting of side tables, main tables, or alone under wall scones or the occasional floor lamp. Music played softly in the background; some jazz or some blues nothing too modern just enough to make you relax while taking a sip of your drink and sinking into your chair waiting for your meal to arrive.

Intimate but not too cozy, it was not a family restaurant. It was a wonderful steak house with the most delicious food and great service.

Then that hateful virus Covid hit and the city went on lockdown. The owners were old, and rent was a little too high. They were there for years and then decided to retire.

Closed and gone yet not forgotten.

Nothing lasts forever except for good memories of fine dining.
