Or the PLUG people weren't spending enough money to suit the new owner. Some of us are kind of frugal :-)<br>

They were doing fine off of us. We always get complements from the staff<br>
for being good customers and being easy to work with. We get complements<br>
from the staff at Iguana Macks as well, but the manager doesn't get it.<br>
<br>
It's true that some attendess are frugal ( or they ate elsewhere because<br>
there were no vegetarian options ), but overall they get a good dinner<br>
crowd booking. Only a few people drink, so they don't get a bar crowd<br>
booking. It's a win for a Tuesday evening when we often double the crowd<br>
for the night.<br>
<br>
The restaurant we're moving to wants to earn our business. It's owned by<br>
the same family that owns a location we used to go to. The old location<br>
had a couple of issues: no parking; very busy Tuesday nights; slow service<br>
on very busy Tuesday nights. The new location won't have the Tuesday<br>
trivia, so won't be busy on Tuesday nights and has lots of parking.<br>
Hopefully there will be consistent good service. It's a bar, it's not a<br>
fine dining experience, but the menu has variety and I like their food.<br>
<br>
A huge difference is that the owner wants us to come in. He's glad to have<br>
a good, regular customer base return. The manager of the location we're<br>
using in December contacted me to see what we need for a reservation even<br>
though he knows we only need one month. That's far more consideration than<br>
we've gotten from Iguana Macks.<br>
<br>
ciao,<br>
