My understanding from him saying that the store is closing & it was sold is that the real estate was sold.

Skyline if you can afford it. Best of the bunch. The only real mehadrin chef restaurant I know of in Israel.
Went there with my wife and grandparents who eat at restaurants 3-5 times a week and we were all very impressed by the food.

Like everything in Israel, it's not consistent. I've had amazing meals and some just okay ones. But overall, it's your best bet.

Overpriced, not quick service and I'd be hard pressed to find a place n Israel that I liked less. Although could be I just got them at bad times.
