I heard on the local news this past weekend that a long-standing Dayton restaurant -- The Grub Steak -- is closing its doors at the end of February. I was there once, last summer. Both the food and the service were good (I ordered their signature "Royal Ribs"), but it was a little on the pricey side. I'm sad to see this restaurant go by the wayside, as they've been in business for nearly 50 years.

( This is only the latest in a string of local restaurant closures. )
