I would be very remiss if I didn't say something about the firestorm that has been surrounding us the last couple of weeks. We had a reviewer write an article about us. He is new to the reviewing business and apparently has some personal problems. He was supposed to do a food review for our local paper. What he did was a sarcastic, angry, untrue rant that seemed to be a personal vendetta against Bill (our chef). We have not read the review at the insistence of our kids and employees. That really does not matter. He said more about himself than he did about us.
What is important is the outpouring of love, encouragement and support from our community and our customers. There have been letters to the editor, phone calls to the publisher, personal visits and notes from other restaurants, hotels, locals and many many others. Everyone wanted to tell us how much they love and support us. We have felt so upheld and appreciated. I admit, I cried the first day but not one sad tear since then. There have, however, been many many tears of joy. Thank you all. You are the best!!!
