As I have mentioned in other posts I am a restaurant owner in Temecula and I am happy to report that our sales for May were up 5% from last year.

My take on this is that well run and established businsses in Temecula/Murrieta are still doing OK but the less established and/or poorly run places are getting hammered. If you are going to be eating out less you want to be sure that the experience is going to be good, so people are not taking chances they are sticking with the places they know.
