Story continues below
After receiving a plea for help from Stephanie, the bar manager, Irvine shows up unannounced and that’s the moment it all hits the fan. A furious Stephanie walks out and refuses to help. Meanwhile, the owner Christina’s marriage to her husband Dominic is failing along with the business, which hasn’t turned a profit since opening.
Robert is left in an awkward situation; he’s forced to work alone to solve the restaurant’s financial problems, and the family woes. On top of that, Robert’s attention is distracted by an unsuspected theft.

I absolutely LOVE this place! They now have a full bar, I had a Moscow Mule,yum! The food is good as well…The blue cheese dressing is a little too thin for my liking BUT everything else was yummy in my tummy. It’s time to plan a Martini party there.
