Carle Place Southern-style restaurant LL Dent to close

Mother-and-daughter owners Lillian and Leisa Dent are closing their popular Southern cooking spot in Carle Place, LL Dent, after 13 years. On Feb. 1, they said they've simply grown tired of running the restaurant and aren't getting joy from it anymore, and that it is not bringing in enough money to make it profitable.
