Consultants are gone...apparently so is the DJ.

I voiced my concerns, told them honestly what I thought was right or wrong. I was asked lots of questions, gave lots of suggestions, but basically told I don't represent the typical customer.

Some of the food improved, then took a giant leap backwards. The menu is different almost every time I visit. The new, beautifully presented calamari (with tempura spinach and red peppers) that I was raving to everyone about a few weeks ago has turned into some kind of deep fried bait served on a lettuce leaf with spicy mango sauce that tastes like it was scraped off the bottom of the chinese oven.

No Bongo Bongo soup? Really? That's a TV staple. I'm told it's removal is only temporary.

The ship is now being steered by accountants and real estate agents. No one seems to have a clear vision.

Four different bar managers in the last 12 months. None of which are still there. Drinks are still good when they can keep the garnishes in stock. A Navy Grog isn't a Navy Grog without the rock candy stick.

New GM starting this week.

See it while you can. I'd like to stay optimistic but it's becoming more difficult.
