I first wrote about this hard-luck building on Saint Andrews Road near the I-26 interchange when it had stopped being a D's Wings<\/a>. (It had been a number of other things even before that). The second time I wrote about it was when it had just stopped being Baja's Southwestern Grill<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This time, it has just stopped being Delmonico Diner<\/i>, something it had been in preparation to start<\/i> being for quite a while. I drove over a few weeks ago to see the state of the place, and I believe the roadside sign said \"open\", but they were turning away customers who actually parked and tried to go in. According to commenter Alicia<\/a>, when the place did open for real, they only made it for a total of three days before closing the doors. I'm sure there's a sad story there, and I'm sorry to see that.<\/p>\n

The building is up for sale again, and I suppose it is well fitted as a restaurant, but I have to say that if I were looking to start an eatery somewhere, I think I would have to consider this spot's track record and look elsewhere.<\/p>\n
