Default up the creek closing

It's a shame to loose what was a very good restaurant for several years. We went at lest once a week for the first few years but due to only fair food quality and soso service, we have only been there once in the past year. With a great location and a large customer base even an average restaurant should be able to make if management knows how to run a business. Several restaurants are doing very well for a long time ( Cane Garden, Lopez, Panera,Toojays,Thai Ruby,Mallory) and the newer Bonefish serve quality food at a fair price.

Wow! We were there a couple weeks ago and had a good lunch. They were very busy later in the day after we exited the movie, too.

Default NO, Not Yet!

A group of us ate there this evening (Thurs) and the food is still good. The current manager said they will be open for a few more weeks, so you better cash in on your coupons. A little premature on their closing though.

We were told that they did not "have" to close but owner was made an offer he couldn't refuse. We were also told that all employees had to fill out an employment application for rehire--even the wonderful greeter "Gene."---We will see how they do as a Cody's Steakhouse.

Okay, I'm confused. Last night they closed their doors. Tonight someone ate there? Maybe it was just regular closing time, although I would think the time must be getting close for them to close and transition to Cody's.

According to The Villages Gourmet Club web site Up The Creek should close in late summer and reopen as Cody's, after renovations, in Sept-Oct.

Let me see now on the 5th it is supposedly closed and on the 7th open.
Bad for business at Up the Creek with erroneous closing rumors floating about a well read web site.

Thanks Boogie for clearing that up, "they will close in 2 -3 weeks".........The first post said they were already closed therefore the confusion.

From what I understand... the current owners will remain, just renovating and changing styles. Guess they thought there were enough seafood restaurants and figured they would do better as a steak house.
