Restaurant is a tough tough business. You rent 2000 sq ft but only 1000 sq ft is generating revenues (the other 50% is the kitchen) for only a few hours a day.
I don't think Calgarians in general are food connoisseurs that are willing to pay a lot for quality food. And in this downturn, without the corporate dinners, it'll be tough for a lot of the mid to up scale restaurants to operate.
