But in the restaurantg businessyou can’t change things with a ham-handed And you can’t bring big change to a fine dininyg restaurant without alerting (and possiblyt running off) the regulars. So the most recengt thing Vaughn has changed arethe hours. Once only open for the East Memphis “bustling neighborhoocd bistro” is now open every day from 11 a.m.-11 p.m. “Houston’s is open at 11 a.m. and they’re on wait unti they close,” Vaughn says.
“That’s a piece of our The River Oaks menu will not changefor lunch, will be the same until the doors close and is the same menu “ourr regulars have come to The only difference is the lunch portion will be half of the dinned portion and cost half as much.

The restaurant he says, is holding its own with a firm foundation laid years ago by pioneering chefas and new directions from chefs like But the recession has made customers scale Some folks that used to go to River Oaks are now goinygto . Those that went to Houston’s are going to or othedr fast casual places.
Vaughn says he’e seen a 30% decline in businesx over the past year, whicn is a large chunk for a smalp restaurant thatseats 85. But for the Riverd Oaks loyals, Vaughn isn’t about to chang e their culinary refuge. “The goal for this restaurang is to ride out thetough times, manage our costss and not allow it to reflect to our Vaughn says. “We’re not going to cheapeh the place up.” For you’re not going to find two-for-one drinki specials every night.
