Guests can once again reserve a table at Florida and Ohio eateries operated by Specialty Restaurants Corporation, a family-controlled company that owns 19 dining spots. In addition to Florida and Ohio, the company operates restaurants in California and Buffalo, N.Y.
John Tallichet, second-generation president and CEO of the Costa Mesa, Calif.-based company, says there was âa lot of pent-up demandâ at the first restaurant to reopen, the Rusty Pelican in Tampa.
