Carrie Farren replies

us to move to another table (the original thread has expired). She was
appologetic. I think she takes the reputation of her restaurant seriously
and values regular customers. I wonder if anyone else (in particular, in
light of what's been going on at other restaurants recently) has ever
recieved such a response. Do you think owners read the NG's very closely?

Amazing!
As to your question about other restaurateurs reading the
N/Gs...we can only hope!!

Wow. That's really amazing. I like Farren's, not only because of the
food but because it's a walking-distance, downtown Champaign
establishment. We ate there the other night, and the only complaint I had
was when some people came in and sat down at the table behind us and the
smoke started wafting over.
I seem to recall that there's no particular law regarding smoking sections
for "pub"-type places (correct?), and their size is probably not large
enough to effectively seperate the two groups, but still...
Does anyone know when The Great Impasta is reopening?
Peace and Prosperity,

Right. If you're in a bar, you can reasonably expect to experience smoke.
Unless you're in California.
However, you can always sit outside if it's nice out.

They'd be wise to, in my opinion. Where else can they get such
unbiased feedback? Though perhaps they should take our reviews with
the proverbial grain of salt, unless there's a plethora of either
positive or negative comments.
I've told a couple of business persons with whom I deal about
cmi.consumer. They were intrigued.
Thanks for sharing this about the Farren e-mail. Makes me think more
highly of her and of that business.

Last I heard, in a couple of weeks.
Mike Kernagis, the super-duper handy guy that Karen gushed about in
cmi.consumer, is going to be the manager (so much for handy-guy stuff) and
was over the over night and said "a couple of weeks" then, so . . . . .
Poor Harold has had a whole bunch of unexpected delays, but I guess that's
to be expected when you're getting a restaurant ready to go in a new space.
I'm really looking forward to it!
