That Location was a poor choice for so many reasons. It obviously has no visibility for traffic, the building itself doesn't present itself very well from the outside and the inside was a mess when previous restaurants were in it. Other than the name there wasn't really much to attract customers. Also, as you mentioned they have a state open long enough to begin attracting people.
As with anything else involving real estate location is the key and this location didn't meet any of the required criteria. There are many places outside the Waterson that do however.
