I would never go back to a restaurant that had a kid running around. If the owner had to go work for someone else after she lost the restaurant, I am guessing she wasn't able to bring her kid to work. I am guessing these people went back to their failing ways, after Chef Irvine left, thinking they know better. Obviously what they were doing didn't work, so why keep doing it. Einstein had a quote that said something to the effect, that stupidity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I could tell she thought she knew better than everyone. It didn't surprise me she went out of business.wanda abrahamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-87561444715820153412014-04-05T03:53:07.076-04:002014-04-05T03:53:07.076-04:00There was no way this clueless woman was ever gonn...There was no way this clueless woman was ever gonna succeed while letting a spoiled brat run around making her customers miserable on top of serving crappy food. She probably had to bring him with her because she couldn't find a day care facility that would take him. Not only would he ruin her 3 r 4 customers meals, but he could also end up getting hurt by cutting himself or getting burned with hot oil from the kitchen. I hope her and her son will be ok, but that will only probably happen if they both get some professional help (i.e. seeing a shrink).jbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-23376711313068092192013-07-07T21:05:27.035-04:002013-07-07T21:05:27.035-04:00What kind of a FOOL lets her child run around a re...What kind of a FOOL lets her child run around a restaurant.

As for the food the current chef's were serving, she was the owner she should take ownership of the food that was being purchased to serve in her restaurant, ie they can't serve frozen food if frozen food isn't being purchased. Finally I feel that Robert Irvin did a terrible disservice to this woman. I have seen him batter the heck out of ppl to drive home the fact that they are the main reason their business is failing. He blamed the kitchen, he didn't spend enough time the front of the house, and he definitely didn't convince Marina that she wasn't up to par!Spotonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-58321379470687166802013-03-11T02:29:55.430-04:002013-03-11T02:29:55.430-04:00Truth!!!

She and her staff need to be attentive to the customers. It seemed so promising-the new menu looked great, and the kitchen staff looked happy. It might be understandable that they ran out of most dishes the first night, so that part could be forgiven. But there is no excuse for poor service. Customers are why you exist!Timgeroge1960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-54503359135712287002013-01-20T16:45:32.813-05:002013-01-20T16:45:32.813-05:00ur obviously not cultured enough to be a critic of...ur obviously not cultured enough to be a critic of true italian food.Yoshiwiscavernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-18525668178829495602013-01-20T16:42:18.720-05:002013-01-20T16:42:18.720-05:00I read a lot of reviews online after the show.

Where is her concern for the enjoyment of her customers who are paying her bills and shouldn't have to put up with a bratty child's behavior (and she is the reason he acts bratty)? I also would never trust the cleanliness of the food in a restaurant where the owner thinks its OK to change a diaper on the prep table. It obviously wasn't a one time mistake as her attitude has not changed.

She mentioned several times how her "family" owns several restaurants in the area, leaving me to guess that they are well off financially and she was spoiled by her parents and probably got everything and anything she ever wanted as a child. Now, as an adult, she still feels she's entitled to get what ever she wants. Spoiled child equals spoiled adult. This would include running around her daddy's restaurant when she was a child, that's why she doesn't see anything wrong when her child does the same. Unfortunately, like most children that have rich parents that raise them not to appreciate what they have or the hard work that went into getting to where they are, they grow up to be unappreciative adults who feel those who are not at the same level financially as they are beneath them. And those people should be the once to be kissing her shoes for "giving them a job". Maybe one day this owner will grow up and stop acting like a spoiled child and stop raising one as well.someone unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-67801062005793830892012-09-20T01:55:40.064-04:002012-09-20T01:55:40.064-04:00I think I just got her logic, if she sees her empl...I think I just got her logic, if she sees her employees as children, so what is one more child (her son) added to that wonderful messed up mix, and if as she says they're family to her, they should be looking after her son.<br /><br />In her eye's there all the same, so it is a day care, with herself as the only adult there, well at least in her eyes.Markcrx9noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-55767792489067771532012-09-20T01:37:35.059-04:002012-09-20T01:37:35.059-04:00I know it makes it more dramatic to have a short t...I know it makes it more dramatic to have a short time frame to get it all done, but I am more than up for throwing in an extra day, if it helps all of the parties, prepare for their future without RI to help them out.<br /><br />Markcrx9noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-19384176550788926342012-09-20T01:34:22.646-04:002012-09-20T01:34:22.646-04:00sad.sad.Markcrx9noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-74463400551951332822012-09-20T01:33:03.261-04:002012-09-20T01:33:03.261-04:00It seems if the restaurant had that large of a fol...It seems if the restaurant had that large of a following of loyal customers RI wouldn't have been there in the first place.<br /><br />If RI would even fix half of the restaurants it visits I would say that would be a good thing for both owners and patrons alike. <br /><br />Heck I don't know if I would want to be recorded on video and then shown all my faults. <br /><br />I thought what Robert told her about being a "boss" vs a "leader" was very enlightening, hopefully when they show a rerun maybe she will see herself in a different way.Markcrx9noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-88068556738362444062012-09-20T00:44:01.690-04:002012-09-20T00:44:01.690-04:00And a psychiatrist.

A 13 year old girl was hostess (and acted 13). The waitress was not friendly and only asked the very basic questions then left. The food was presented OK and had good ingredients but was bland (had Lasagna and Osso Bucco). It was Saturday night and there were 8 people in the restaurant. The sign out front needed painting and was missing letters on the reader board and there were weeds growing around it. As Robert said on the show "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink". This place will never do well. Restaurant Impossible is a good name because most of the restaurants they "transform" are truly impossible.
