The food is just sloppily prepared and bland. A tip for diner owners - just because you own a greasy spoon doesn't mean that the food has to be crap - Moe proved that.<BR/><BR/>I really didn't want to go back for a second visit, but my wife convinced me to be fair and open minded. Fool me twice, shame on me.Mal Carnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12132487389566068539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-26838158079548689532007-11-30T22:40:00.000-05:002007-11-30T22:40:00.000-05:00Well David and I made another visit.

Much better, still some kinks to work out but Dino is really trying to make it work. <BR/><BR/>I think he needs to keep hearing feedback from the neighborhood, it is the only way he will know what needs to improve. <BR/><BR/>I certainly haven't written three coins off. I think Moe had a vision for what he was trying to make 3 Coins into, I am not sure that Dino has that focus. But he is trying.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01139309368668658112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-26736702612329583422007-11-27T16:12:00.000-05:002007-11-27T16:12:00.000-05:00I had mixed results with Moe at the helm, sorry to...I had mixed results with Moe at the helm, sorry to say. Waitresses claiming certain items were "out" and then other waitresses nearby taking orders and serving them up. What gives with that? They were out of grits on a Sunday at 10:30 am. In the South?! <BR/><BR/>During the G&L film festival, we ate late (very late) dinners there because they were open 24 hours. The vegetables that came with the meal were boiled into mush and inedible. I found the food quality hit and miss, overall.<BR/><BR/>I'll try the Coins again in a couple weeks and see if the new owner has worked out some of the issues Moe was still working on. Hopefully I won't get a bowl of broccoli pudding again.Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08238913043881209069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-39842090917275659852007-11-26T09:21:00.000-05:002007-11-26T09:21:00.000-05:00I too, did not have a very good experience.

I have talked with Dino as well. I hope the transition kinks get worked out. I would much rather have choices closer to home than across town.<BR/><BR/>I have encouraged those that have said something to me to make sure to let Dino know. No feedback doesn't give him or the staff the chance to address the issues.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01139309368668658112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-50457166108839374492007-11-19T14:18:00.000-05:002007-11-19T14:18:00.000-05:00Seriously though, not to change the subject, but s...Seriously though, not to change the subject, but someone should post a story about the new Stephanno's. Got a bunch of take out there Friday, and it was SUPERB! Far better than anything I'd ever gotten there before. The gentleman in charge is a 20-year Pizza Hut veteran who took over management duties because he couldn't bear the thought of a sans-Stephano Florida Ave. He promised that things are likely to be far more consistent from now on. Tell you what, this is one Italian who can honestly say the Calzone I had Friday night was the Best. Calzone.

I met Dino, the new owner, and have gotten the impression that he's just as invested and interested in upholding the changes that Moe had made. I've been there twice since Moe left and the menu and service has remained as good.YesterDaze Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17425028860011521803noreply@blogger.com
