Besides being a filthy mess, any new business will have to pay for many, many application fees. The city makes out when businesses fail. This city makes it very difficult for a restaurant to succeed.
There are restaurants on Lake Avenue that do very well. Business is a gamble. You have to have something the people want, not what you think the people want.
I think that no one realized the menu and ownership had changed and kept thinking it was really a drinking place with snack food. I went in there eons ago and there was zero substantial food on the menu.
There is already Paradiso, Marios and Rustico....3 excellent restuarants covering Italian optimally. There would have been "room" for a French place if run properly...or an American Food Restaurant with all basic food paths covered at 4 star level....Maybe even a Seafood place, though Marios and Paridiso do this better than seafood restaurants like Prime Catch in Boynton....A great Dessert destination could be great---people eating at the existing great restaurants could opt for desserts here instead. Italian desserts are pretty lame, with the exception of Panna Cotta ( but only Paridiso makes it in Lake Worth, and it is priced out of the dessert market for most of our residents.
Restaurants couple use the palm beach condo crowd across the intracoastal but they won’t come more then once because parking and the freak show druggies and vagrants
Now downtown has 9 barber shops, 4 vape stores, 12 taco joints, 11 vacant storefronts, joy!
Can’t enjoy our parks because of druggie vagrants, kids in our neighborhood go to South Olive Park because ours are a mess, equipment busted up, weed smell constantly, bathroom facilities are 4th world.
Let’s keep blaming Developers, over-development and developer handouts, derp! lol
I agree, a seafood restaurant would be good, but it's hard to get good seafood. We have the best shrimp in the world, in the Gulf, but what they serve you in the restaurant is from Viet Nam. Alaskan King Crab would be good too but try and get it. As far as Flounder, Sole, Haddock and Halibut: forget about it!

Piccadilly Cafeteria would do well downtown. I loved their blue plates and their mashed potatoes. Yum. So good.

Decades ago, 40-50 years perhaps, we had a Morrison's Cafeteria downtown on Lake Avenue if I am recalling the proper street...it was the greatest.

Holiday House was great where Lupitas is now.
