We have a great thing going on and an incredible customer base at our unique location on Gaylord Street and will continue providing the best food, the best service and a great experience to our customers.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Jonathan Levine is currently being sued by some family member investors who claim they own 49% of his restaurant. The case has been heating up since 2012 and they recently moved for summary judgment. I wonder if that's having any effect on his plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
