Perhaps they should bite the bullet and accept that the project was a little ambitious in its 5 star, high end, all luxury approach.

Open an Applebee's, TGI Friday's, Chillis etc on The Pearl and perhaps people might actually start going there.

It's not as if Noodle House is anything more than glorified fast food, so opening more along those lines might help?

Part of me wants to go to the Pearl this Thursday night if only to count how many people are in the restaurants :p
