Has any one heard about the fact that the Bistro Restrant down town was over run by RATS to the point that the
Health Deptpartment closed it down. My information came from a manager of the place ...but I notice that it has reopened very quickly. Does any one know anything about this situation. I do not see how you can get rid of a RAT infestion in a day or two???....
What have you heard???

This rumor doesn't sound very factual, does it?

[tomahawk]

Is the "TALK HOST" going to be judge and jury on all items submitted to this forum??? This "rumor" came from and employee who quit working there because they were afraid of the RATS of which they said were of a great number in the kitchen. "RUMORS" good and bad (including glowing restaurant recommendation's) can only be judged by their source. tomahawk

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know that you didn't want anybody to comment. I didn't know that a comment was being judge and jury. I'll remember that for the next time.

I can't imagine a manager divulging that information even it it happens to be true. He could have said that they had unwanted dinner guests.

If I was a frequent customer of the Bistro I would probably call the health department before jumping to conclusions :

PS: was that an ex-manager or soon to be an ex-manager? ???

There was some skepticism regarding the report of infestations. If anyone has questions regarding this, go to the following web page and check it out.

"One dead rodent" is a far cry from "......overrun by RATS."

The state's division of Hotels and Restaurants closed them down. I don't think they hung around to get take an accurate census of the ants and rats.

Could have been a mouse!

There was an article on the second page of the reporter that was in my mailbox this week that Kate belles and the Bistro were shut down for a day to clean up the rats. Didn't anyone else read it???

A complete list of the 23 findings of the inspection of The Bistro is available on MyFlorida.com. FACT: NO LIVE rats were found, a single "rodent(dead) was found in the water heater closet.

That's exactly what the story in "The Reporter" said. The person who originally posted this topic has vanished from the forum. Wonder where he went.

Are you referring to Tomahawk?

Perhaps he went to get a breath of fresh air........
