NBC has pulled the tablecloth out from under “The Restaurant.”

Just three episodes into the season, the ratings-short reality show has been yanked from the schedule until the all-important May sweeps period is over.

The Rocco DiSpirito series is expected to return in few weeks and will also air later this year on Bravo.

In its Monday night timeslot, NBC is inserting repeats of “Crossing Jordan” and “Law & Order: SVU.”
