I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

We opened a new restaurant this week.

The hate has been stron on social media.

Tonight I came across a post that called Chef a moron for changing the concept.

The person continued to comment on posts about decor, pricing, the menus, the concept.

I could hold my tongue no more.

I posted the following:

John if you hate the Chef and the concept so much why have you applied multiple times to work there. And please refrain from comments till you’ve tried it. You have no idea what it looks like. You haven’t been in.

Yes the memorabilia is gone. As are the rodents that resided in the walls. The raccoon that lived in the dining room. And the three years of filth.

And you loved the previous restaurant. They charged 12 bucks for an Allagash. Their prices were higher and the quality wasn’t there.

The Ramp we all know and loved ceased to exist when Pete and Kate sold. We all loved it as well.

The restaurant was for sale for two years. You had every chance to purchase it turn it into a museum and honor the history. You chose not to.

Chef German is a brilliant chef. He’s a kind man. And he’s been great for the community.

Things change. For good. For worse. They change.

But I don’t understand the people who wish for this venture to fail. Who won’t give it a chance. The prices aren’t set to take advantage as the last owners did. They are based on a need to cover labor, food, and a mortgage. Yes. There are people who will find the prices expensive. But the quality, talent and decor support the cost of each item.

Now a big shout out to everyone who made our first weekend a success. We looking forward to hosting all of you this summer as we continue to strive to be the best we can be.

Seriously.

Anyone could have purchased the property. It WAS for sell for two years.

To my knowledge there was one offer and they backed out. And they’d have changed it as well.

PS. It’s a beautiful space.

PSS. The food is delicious.

PSSS. The rats and the raccoon are gone.

And most importantly my feet no longer stick to the floor.

Come see for yourself. You’ll love it.
