New owners were trying to be too contrived and the friendly atmosphere went out the window quite quickly. Please ... keep it simple and downhome style food. The customers are actually on the doorstep - so easy, but it needs down-home Kits food. I could see this coming as soon as ownership changed.

The Tuesday night dinners that Brian Fowke were doing were delicious and great value (3 course tasting menu with small glass of paired wine with each course for $25). I do think that location IS cursed! ah that is too bad!

They were nice people who deserved better. The only problem was there were too many chiefs and so the menu was going in too many directions. The food never lived up to the hype and was constantly changing. The opening chef was not very good. The next few chefs were better but the damage had been done. Maybe a rustic Italian restaurant with just one owner and a great chef could make a go of it. Good luck to the next owners. It’s too bad. They were nice people who deserved better.
