This location was formerly Alma's Dress Shop (or something like that) Are you willing to share who are the principals involved with your new restaurant?

Does that really make a difference? Have you enquired as to who the principals are at every restaurant in Ajijic? Shouldn't the food and atmosphere be the things that draw you to a dining establishment, not who owns it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for asking about this, Sue. I found the extreme interest in the principals involved in a restaurant odd. I wondered why it would matter so much that the question was even asked a second time. I also wondered if the poster asks who owns each restaurant that opens.

It about the dining experience but another aspect of that might be the owners or operators of an establishment. They can affect the dining experience in a good or bad way, just sayin. Now, I would not ask who at first. I would give the place a try and hope to meet the owners while there. There are several restaurant operators in Dallas that their name is all I need to hear to give it a try. True celebrities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the asking about it before the place even opened (when nothing at all is known about it) that just seems odd. The only time I have seen that question asked has been when there is some controversy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be odd, but I'll admit that there are few establishments I wouln't patronize, based on who the owner is. No, I won't put my money where my heart or head isn't.

Xena Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 I don't disagree with you, Gringal. I have just never before seen someone ask that question of a restaurant before it even opened. Lately, there has been a string of new restaurants opening and no one has immediately asked who the principals are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has happened in the past; but not recently and, IMO, it probably is nobody's concern unless they have a long rap sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Only around here would anyone care. Perhaps because we are a small area, and everyone loves meeting the owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Menudo Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 I have a story to tell but to keep from getting this one further off course I will start a new one. Maybe as Restaurant owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Amazing thread. Someone asks a simple question of the owners and we have a half page of debate over the question. Still no actual reviews. Has anyone eaten there yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnivore Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 It's sad that this particular thread has become so badly hi-jacked! Fortunately, although it takes time, you can find a couple of intelligent and informative comments. The silly ones are just that and are easy to spot. You'll notice that those authors have a habit of similar drivel throughout this website. Nice place....hopefully they'll do well.....they appear to be trying hard to please...........regardless of who they might be! Our only "first hand" experience thus far, will see us return.....probably often! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
