The only good thing about the roofdeck at Straits is the great view of Lauriol Plaza! Since LP is taking a gratuitous slam, I'll chime in-LP is what it is and always has been-a very popular mid-priced neighborhood restaurant. A restaurant owner I know always exclaims, "Chips and Salsa! How do you make a million dollars on Chips and Salsa?" But, on the other hand, Straits had its day 10 years ago when it was unique. Once people in the neighborhood caught on, it was a ghost. The big draw was Larry (the owner). and his Mother, who sadly passed away.
