Sadly, I find nothing on the "Loves Way Trio," other than this very ad.
The
last I see of a restaurant at the address (the archives I have access to only go to 1995) comes on December 2, 1989, when the "Cache Restaurant" is being closed for a couple of days by the County Department of Health Services for "vermin infestation; unsanitary equipment." Yum, make your reservations
now!
