I am pretty sure that Skip isn't going to tell you HOW he knows but over time I have come to see that Skip knows a lot of stuff that ordinary villagers don't know. I don't think he is a Morse but I think he is somehow close to the action and knows the back stories around here..


If he says something I would be pretty confidant he is right.

I just hate to see them go. Thought their Greek dishes were extremely good. Also enjoy lunch outside there with the great live music, and the burgers were my favorite in TV

I do know for a fact that they were having some financial problems. An acquaintance of mine who worked there, left because a few of his salary checks bounced and even the replacement checks weren't honored. I'm not going to speculate why they had problems but this I know for a fact.

I also know for a fact, that I hated their food, it was God awful. From the first time I went there, I wasn't pleased and only went again because others wanted to go, but I never felt it was good Greek food. So I won't be missing them.

Thanks. I only share what I know is a fact. I hate rumors.

Why would it be a no no for this restaurant to have rodents in the kitchen and another one of our revered establishments get a pass? I say they get the pass also. They also published a nice email explaining their situation including to refund any surplus on gift cards.

Can't wait to see what The Developers plan next - whatever it is you can bet it will be first class. Still living the dream.

Could you share the link to where ever this is stated & who actually closed them down as you say. I have not been able to find this anywhere.
Did you work there?

I noticed looking at your posts, you have trashed "many" restaurants.
So I assume you are a bartender or a server.
