Castagnola's Resturant in Fisheerman's Wharf.

Around 7:30 p.m. Saturday, 95-year-old Castagnola's on Fisherman's Wharf (286 Jefferson St.) was buzzing. With a holiday weekend swelling the reservation book, the dining room was full and the Saturday night comedy show was set to begin.

Then the kitchen staff walked out.

And then all the guests - more than 200 of them - were asked to leave, because, well, there was no food.

The restaurant closed for the night. It reopened the next day, but estimates for the lost Saturday night revenue lurched upward of $40,000.
