Vic's does have a unique challenge, but I don't think Taboo Cove failed because of the tradtional decor. There were many reasons in my opinion, with opening right before 9/11 being the main one and poor marketing/advertising being the secondary one. Heck, the employees I talked to in the Venician had NO clue what I was talking about when I asked how to find the Taboo Cove. The Vic's restaurant management I talked to said some additions are coming and even some changes, too. But, it is very bland now.
