The Joy Luck House - Napa

Joy Luck Restaurant has three dining rooms, and all of them were empty when my friend and I stopped in for dinner. The rooms may be a bit dated, but they exude an old-school charm.

This is the end of an era. I recently witnessed pickup trucks carrying away the interior decorations.

Is it even possible for a restaurant to remain open despite being mediocre? My standards are high, but they can be easily satisfied.
