I would never patronize any eating establishment owned or managed by him.

When he had to discipline an employee, he did it in the open which makes the customers feel uncomfortable. He always chose the completely wrong times to try and socialize with his customers, which were typically when Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-34916223875271560562012-02-03T15:04:25.878-05:002012-02-03T15:04:25.878-05:00I called today and asked what was going on.

I also think the set up was off - the tables were set up in a way that made it hard to feel comfortable. It was strange. If they plan to re-open or re-invent themselves, they should examine the floor plan and consider how to provide greater value.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-64498886062947257652012-02-01T20:15:53.314-05:002012-02-01T20:15:53.314-05:00I can imagine that the rent down in Maple Lawn is ...I can imagine that the rent down in Maple Lawn is higher than most places, but the traffic is less than other places. I think that Maple Lawn is a good spot for places like Venegas or Looney's because it's a night out kind of event that takes you there.

I live in Ellicott City, so driving down to Fulton meant I didn't go very often.<br /><br />I hope they do open up somewhere else. It was nice to have a place to get Kosher food. I was disappointed it took so long for them to get the Deli license to sell meats outside of sandwiches.dzoeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337244607409694673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-80871632117813446102012-02-01T09:44:03.991-05:002012-02-01T09:44:03.991-05:00Not that surprising.
