VERY good lists in already. Be sure to include also ...

Lynn's Paradise Cafe
DiFabio's
Sweet Surrender
Cheddar Box
Le Gallo Rosso?
Eiderdown?

If this counts, I can think of a few others where couples appear to operate in equal partnership:

AJ's Gyros
Shady Lane Cafe
Gasthaus

My wife, Nancy, is definitely the most intergral part of L&N Wine Bar and Bistro...

There's a good point to be made that a lot of restaurants are owned and operated by multiple people, often married couples.

Great list, with a few that I frequent leaving me with a "DUH" after reading them on here. I host a Women's History night each week during March and would like to have it at a woman-owned establishment. This is very helpful.

Hey guys. Just a shout out that the Come Back Inn is now owned by me, Cathy Able- Zachari. I worked with Mark and Gena for quite a few years and they were retiring and I was able to take over as totally turn-key. Nothing has changed, as I have kept the staff and recipes.

I look forward to seeing and serving you the same dishes we have always cooked up.
