[quote="Concerned"]I'm not sure if I agree with it being overpriced. I do think that it has the overall feeling of a sinking ship. They can't keep the same chef for more then a few months, the staff turnover is constant, and they purchase a lot of their desserts from an outside source. That and a feeling of a "place for the ladies" makes it anything but a destination. I thought it was going to be a bakery first and a restaurant second. They need to reevaluate and keep it simple.[/quote]

New busineses in town will probably not want to make such a big investment with the possibility of failure in this economic environment. It seems that unless you have a great idea that requires low overhead it would be a tough startup. So glad to see the great response to the new cichetti bar restaurant. It always seems crowded. Can't say the same for the Blue Rooster. It seems to have fallen on tough times. Tried to get something there on Valentines Day but it was closed.
