I know you’ve been closed for a while, but I’ve been feeling nostalgic. I’ve had some fantastic celebrations here. Most of the food I tasted was fantastic. On one birthday, I had some friends & family who were definitely not vegan and definitely never have been to a restaurant like this before. Almost everyone was completely satisfied except one pouty-face friend. Our waitress immediately came over to make sure everything was OK. She offered Ms. Pout to swap her entrée for something new since she clearly was not happy with her choice. How nice! I’ve only had good experiences here — except for the parking situation, which was to be expected. The place was definitely cramped, but the staff always made you feel comfortable.(Even when you needed to use their secret bathroom!) Thank you, Grezzo, for some great evenings.

Oh Greezo, you’re doors have closed for the last time and your website is now bare – a cruel testament to the ever changing restaurant scene of Boston that ebbs and flows like waters of a hot tub as a fat man gracefully falls in, or the whale tank at SeaWorld(as Shamu pulls some trainer underwater to eat her… too soon?). Like Dilios recounted the tale of 300 Spartans with perfect abs, I too will carry your story through the ages(or until it gets deleted from Unilocal). Ode to a Raw Food Restaurant Thou still unravish’d ward of Demeter, Thou foster-child of Veganism and slow food, Naturist historian, who canst thus express A flowery taste more sweetly than your raspberry lemonade: What leaf-fringed legend haunts about thy shape Of raviolis or gnocchi, or of both, In macadamia paste or the green hand of spinach? What types of cheeses are these? What Lactose Intolerants loth? What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape? What mushroom teas and chocolate tortes? What wild animal-product free ecstasy? Ashes to ashes, compost to natural fertilizer.

It pains me to write this review, especially as my non-vegan friends treated me here for a birthday dinner. But, since I got so incredibly sick after eating here, I felt compelled to share. I’d been dying to try this place since I’ve been vegetarian for some time, and I’m newly vegan. Not raw vegan, but was excited to try Grezzo. Most of this has been covered, so I’ll keep it brief and explain my rating. Service(4 stars): Most bad reviews pointed to the bad service, but ours was great. It may have been b/c we were there on a not so crowded weeknight. It did take a while for drinks, etc, but I assumed it’s because it takes a while to put some of it together. Food(3 stars)/Drinks(4 stars): Drinks were fantastic, esp. the Raspberry Spritzer, but I don’t think there was much, if any alcohol in them. That would be fine, except drinks were $ 10-$ 12 each. Overall, my non-vegan friends liked the food, but didn’t love it. I liked the apps(california maki and sliders) although the serving sizes were tiny. I also loved the desserts(brownie sundae and cheesecake). My entrée(lobster lasagna) was made up of sliced zucchini and was sorta bland. My friend’s entrée(gnocci) was ok. She didn’t like it. Atmosphere(4 stars): Small, dark, quaint. Good for a romantic evening. A little cramped though if the restaurant is crowded. Price(2 stars): Ridiculously expensive — even taking into consideration that the foods are organic, local, etc. Bottom line: I don’t think I’d go back. I got really sick after eating here. I woke up at 2am with a stomachache and puked my head off. I am not a puker and didn’t drink too much, so it had to have been the food, sadly to say. I’m guessing it’s because it’s not cooked and was somehow tainted b/c I don’t have allergies and have been eating similar(non-raw) food for months.

If I had not eaten at Rockin’ Raw and then Pure Food & Wine in NYC this past weekend I probably would give Grezzo at least 4 stars. But the truth is, in terms of taste, pop of flavor, and overall satisfaction… I can now say that I’ve had better. But, let me back up… Grezzo was the very first all raw, vegan restaurant I ate at. Since it opened I’ve been about 4 – 5 times. I’ve never been disappointed in any aspect but a few things to note: — It’s a bit too pricey for me — The service has always varied: the first time I went, shortly after they opened, the service was amazing. Constantly filled water glasses, extremely detailed descriptions of the food itself, and super kind, friendly faces. There was at least one time that it was the complete opposite of that. But, I was there tonight and the service was pretty darn good. So, I guess I’d have to say it’s a gamble in this category. — The food is pretty good. The first time I went I thought it was the greatest thing I had tasted. But after having gone a few times now, I’ve noticed that the flavors are very similar in each dish. Again, I thought the food was way better until having better raw food this past weekend. BUT, I do love the brownie sundae; it’s so very delicious and their homemade nut-based ice creams are incredible! I’ve been known to stop by just for dessert. Oh, and I love that they put a slice of cucumber in the water. Unique look and great flavor. — I REALLY like the plating of the food(I know this should go in the previous ‘food’ category but I think it deserves its own — we do ‘eat with our eyes first’ after all). The plating is incredible. It is obvious that much time and patience is put in making each dish look professional, neat, and colorful. Perfect balance of all those things(that I don’t really know much about) which make a plate of food look delicious, complicated, and simple all at the same time. — The atmosphere is wonderful. I love that it’s tucked on a side street in a teeny, brick-framed building in the North End. It’s great to have a vegan option in an Italian, dairy-pastry filled area. And, the lighting is always just right. Very romantic and great for a formal date. — The bathroom is in the kitchen. That’s right. You have to walk through the very tiny kitchen to the bathroom. At first, I thought this was kind of weird but I also think it’s kind of cool… they aren’t worried about hiding anything in the kitchen, which is always good. And, the chefs will chat you up if you linger, or have to wait to use the bathroom. OVERALL — I like Grezzo. It’s a great alternative to the North End ‘norms,’ and it’s great to have a raw restaurant in T-riding distance. I do think some things could be approved upon. But it’s great for something new to try. Three stars.

I went to Grezzo to experience vegan delights. I did get what I wanted, but had a few things that kept me from rating high on the list or considering going back. First, the prices are crazy for what you get. Nothing is cooked, portions are small –which is ok, but when you leave hungry and poor… where is this markup going too? Second, the service was not good. It took 45 minutes to get our drinks. No water was offered. The waitress was solo this night, which is insane for any restaurant in Boston. She smiled and tried to make the best of her total overwhelmed evening. We were talking and tried not to be upset, but after 1 hour we were getting anxious. Drink prices as well were out of this world. 6 dollars for a spritzer with some raspberry seemed high. Add Saki and you paid 20 bucks! the dirty martini tasted like it sounds – dirty and muddy and just not worth it even if it was free. It took all night to get that flavor out of my husbands mouth. When the food arrived we were so overwhelmed with the presentation and tastes. It was out of this world for taste. But the overall portion and costs made it tough. When I think of the half tomato slices and homemade boursin cheese ravioli I still cannot believe I paid 19 for it and then was hungry when we left. We never got to dessert because we were so late after waiting so long. It took almost 15 minutes for the bill to arrive and get checked out. this is a very small place, so there really isn’t much the owners can say. The service issue was their error and pricing is just too much to go back. I think there are many other alternatives to spend your money and time

Always up for a foodie adventure, my friend and I met for lunch at Grezzo. I am giving this place 4 stars because it fulfills a very unique category in the Boston dining scene. We started with the Green Drink and a house tea. Both were quite interestingly flavored. The tea had lemon, goji berries, mint, ginger and probably some other fresh ingredients as well. The only drawback was that I had trouble drinking the liquid with all of the seeping items filling my mug. The green drink was a nice mix of vegetables topped with some delicious spicy edible flowers. I had the home-made«gnocchi» made with ground nuts and possibly tahini. These were artistically enveloped in a delicious«rawmesan» sauce made with coconut milk. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, going quite well with the crisp English peas and pea shoots. I don’t remember the crispy eggplant being on the plate(although it appears to be on the menu). My friend had the BLTA wrap, which had a tasty, but slightly salty tortilla made from flax seeds and sundried tomato. The filling was quite good — fresh lettuce, tomato, avocado, creamy«cheese» spread, and a salty olive(or maybe eggplant?) paste. The ultra-light dehydrated chips on the side were delicious. Our wonderful server suggested the iced«eggnog» which was a delicious blend of nuts, coconut milk, topped with a fabulous vanilla«ice cream» and shaved Brazil nuts. That was dessert in of itself. We also opted for the Apple Pave which consisted of paper thin slices of apple stacked and topped with a citrus marinade and a caramel-like sauce served with clove ice cream. I found the clove flavor of the ice cream to be a bit overpowering and the apples to be too sweet for my taste. However, combining the flavors of each item was still quite good(I’m just not sure I would order this again.) The Chocolate Super Cookie with Chocolate Frosting was similar to a homemade Luna bar — somewhat dense and chewy(made with chocolate and dates). The frosting was delicious. Grezzo is a *tiny* little place with chairs that barely fit people with a slim stature. Squeezing into seats was a bit uncomfortable and difficult when the restaurant began to fill up. The kitchen is equally tiny and the one bathroom is oddly located right next to a prep station. So close, in fact, that I could hear the chef discussing her falafal recipe with a patron just on the other side of the bathroom door. Not sure if I would go back, but this place is definitely a fun and interesting experience. Highly recommended for vegetarian/vegans looking for something unique, fresh and upscale.

Very ingenious and creative raw food restaurant. You may even be surprised when you get your food that it is raw and completely vegan. The gnocchi appetizer was so impressive and delicious– with fake Parmesan cheese made from cashews and delicious little gnocchis. My entrée was not as impressive as the appetizers, but I got the chocolate torte for dessert and it was to die for! Probably better than any chocolate torte I’ve had in a long time– and it was all vegan! I highly recommend this place if you’re interesting in raw or vegan food– but be ready to pay a lot for the creativity.

This place is absolutely brilliant! After much deliberation, my grandmother and I decided to give Grezzo a try. She had never experienced raw food and I was excited about going to a totally raw place in Boston, but a lot of the Unilocal reviews made me weary. The main thing I was worried about was the supposed«small portions»; Our solution was to order extra food! We each got a drink and a soup. For our entrees, my granny got the Land and Sea and I got one of their salads and the gnocchi. And to top it off we got the chocolate torte with lavender gelato(!!) and blueberry faux-cheese cake with pomegranate sorbet! Not only was all of the food exquisitely delicious, but the quantities were very generous! I don’t know what these other people normally eat, but I ended up having too much food and had to take the salad home with me. My grandmother is rather rotund and was stuffed at the end of our meal. The meal was pricey, but raw and organic food is rarely cheap. The presentation was extremely artistic and professional, as one would expect for a $ 100+ meal. The drinks were interesting, but not extremely tasty. Both soups were dynamite and perfectly seasoned. The gnocchi was to die for and I often find myself craving it. The Land and Sea wasn’t my cup-o-tea, but my granny sure loved it. And the deserts were culinary delights! The combo of lavender gelato with the chocolate torte was brilliant, just brilliant! The blueberry faux-cheesecake was some of the best cheesecake I’ve ever had, and it wasn’t even made with cheese! I would absolutely recommend Grezzo, and I will definitely return, when my family is paying =). The place is small, so make sure you have a reservation!

Grezzo is pronounced Graze-o, which is appropriate because grazing is all you do here. As an always vegetarian/sometimes vegan, I was really excited to come here and show my omnivorous SO how creative plant-based food could be. The menu certainly was creative; I had never tried nut ‘cheese’ before and was wowed by how yummy it was and its satisfyingly creamy texture. I also started incorporating more dehydrated fruits and veggies into my meals because I was inspired by the way they use them here. However, the portions are tinier than a slice of dehydrated watermelon — my seaweed salad was about half a sushi roll, the mushroom soup was quite watery and could have fit into one and a half shot glasses, the entrees wouldn’t pass for starters at a tapas bar, and dessert took two bites to consume. It was disappointing to feel hungrier after a multi-course, hundred dollar meal than we did before we began eating. Maybe our bodies exhausted themselves from processing all that fiber? We left Grezzo and headed straight for Pizzeria Regina, where we gratefully wolfed down a large veggie pie.

Alright, so hopefully by now you’ve read most of the other reviews, so you have a decent idea that this is a raw food joint(which goes WAY beyond even Veganism, if that’s a word.) Maybe our bodies are supposed to eat this kind of food, maybe not. They say cooking certain foods can remove many of the vitamins, minerals, kill proteins, etc., and generally damage the food you’re eating. So this place serves nothing cooked above 112 degrees(not sure how they came up with that number), and it’s all veggie and nut based items. You’d think if they could even pull this off in a half-assed way, they’d have 5 stars simply because there aren’t many places that serve this kind of food. You’d think all the vegans and vegetarians in Boston would be lined up here every day for lunch/dinner, right? Starting with the service. Though very polite and over-the-top smiley, the waitresses took at least 10 minutes to bring water — no ice, but with a cucumber floating in it. Yum, tepid water. Great way to start the meal. Then they gave me some shpeil about how you shouldn’t drink really cold water, etc. Whatever. The chicken-less salad and falafel served inside a lettuce head was actually very tasty, and filling. The tab though was over $ 60 for three people, and that was with NO drinks. Ouch. Plus it took a good 20 minutes for them to prepare the little designs on the plate and stuff. And why is this place located in the North End? It seems so out of place surrounding by pizza and pasta joints, I don’t know how they’re going to make it. Maybe if they were located more downtown it would make more sense… but I digress. We even brought a friend visiting from CO who is a strict vegan. She was very excited about going here, but also left feeling hungry and unsatisfied. I guess there is a huge difference between being a vegan and a raw foodie. Maybe raw IS the best for us, but I think it can be done better than this place does it(like faster service, larger portions, lower prices… come on, it’s vegetables!) As an aspiring veggie, I REALLY wanted to love this place. I was extra patient, extra daring, and tried to be extra open to something new, different and supposedly healthier. But after the exceptionally slow service(there was only one other table while we were there), high prices and not much substance to the meals, I doubt if I’ll ever go out of my way to return.

The food here is excellent. Me and my boyfriend(both vegan) went for lunch today and were definitely impressed. I’m glad we picked the lunch hour as the restaurant wasn’t crowded, the prices are a bit less pricey, and we could get away with very casual attire. The food is raw, yes, and vegan, but it’s not really that strange as long as you’re not expecting«normal» food. The mushroom burger isn’t going to be served on bread, and it’s not going to be hot off a grill. However it’s still very tasty and I enjoyed my kelp-mushroom burger and tastes of my boyfriend’s gnocchi. We also had the chai mudslide(heaven) and for dessert the brownie sundae(amazing). I would definitely eat here again for lunch, or maybe even skip lunch and go straight for the dessert. As much as I think raw food is sort of a weird thing, Grezzo does a great job with it and a few hours later I’m still not hungry!

I took my girlfriend(a vegetarian) to Grezzo for her birthday last month(June) and while my girlfriend loved the food the service was atrocious. In short, they don’t honor reservations so be prepared to arrive, not have a table, and have to wait for 1hr 15mins for a table. Plus, there was another couple who«had» a 7pm reservation but it was also ignored — they waited around 1 hour for their table. For those interested in the details: I had a reservation at 7pm and called the restaurant at 6:50pm to tell them we were parking will be there soon. When we arrived at 7:04, there were no tables available and the waitress(there wasn’t a hostess) told us we’d have to wait. When I asked her why our table was given away she said, «well, you arrived after 7pm.» I told her I called and spoke to [don’t remember the woman’s name] and her response was, «oh…well, I’m sorry and will let you know how long the wait will be.» Standard restaurant etiquette is to hold one’s table for 15 minutes after the reservation time… Grezzo gave our table away to anyone who walked-in. They didn’t even offer to comp our drinks or appetizer. When I jokingly asked the waitress(before we were seated), «Our drinks are free, right?» Her response: «I wish I could do that.» Needless to say, they have zero clue how to provide service. That said, the waitress who waited on us(not the same waitress that was playing ‘hostess’) was very friendly and provided very good service. That was a plus. As for the food, as a non-vegetarian, I did not like it… at all. IMO, it’s expensive for what you get. Also, the menu doesn’t do a good job describing what you actually get in the dish(even my g/f felt the same) so be sure to ask your waitress to describe the dish in detail. Now, if you’re a vegetarian, you’ll probably love it.

I LOVE my fruits and veggies so thought that when friends suggested this place during a recent Boston trip it would be great. I was SOHUNGRY when I arrived there, the waitress took forever to get us out water, to take our orders, and then for us to be served. Come on, its raw food for crying out loud, how long does it take to put some fruit and veggies on a plate?!(That’s what my stomach and I were thinking while we were waiting, I could feel the hypoglycemia setting in big time… and there were only three other tables that had patrons so was not packed to the gills.) I had the chicken-less salad(which I had hoped was going to be the most filling on the menu) and then shared the apple pave tart with my bf at the end of the meal. I was still hungry at the end of the meal! The food was tasty, it was not for me. I guess if I had been eating this way for a while, or not famished at the very least, this would have been amazing but I need lots of protein and a good amount of fat in my meals otherwise I am not satisfied. Cashew dressing didn’t do it for me, a few super thin slices of apple for my salad didn’t do it for me either. Portion-wise(at least for me) it was much too small. I kept thinking, there has to be a better way to do this, there has to be a better way to combine all these ingredients. Then again, maybe I shouldn’t have ordered something that was mimicking a meat dish? Like I said, I love me my fresh produce so was expecting something… different. Guess raw food just isn’t for me. I think I’m better off with a vegetarian place than vegan/raw, especially since I believe that certain vegetables are supposed to be cooked… don’t listen to me if you’re a raw food person. It would have been really cool if they had lots of pickled-type veggies, more grains(are raw foodies allowed to eat grains?), more olive oils, etc… I’d go back if my friends wanted to go again, but I’ll be prepared with some cheese and jerky in my purse post-meal.

I have to disagree with those who hated the faux cheese — I think it’s pretty incredible what they do with nuts and coconut milk! In fact, our waitress(an incredibly patient, friendly, knowledgable woman) brought us several cheeses to sample after one of my friends expressed skepticism about the cheese(she also mentioned that she’d read some bad reviews on Unilocal,so the waitress was eager to give us a great experience). We shared the banana crêpe as an appetizer(basically a fruit rollup with vanilla and rosemary on top), and it was delicious. Then I had the ravioli(tomato slices stacked on top of each other with cheese in the middle), and my friends tried the canneloni and the gnocchi. We all tried different dishes for dessert, but my favorite was the«cheesecake.» Yes, you can tell it’s not real cheesecake, but it’s still delicious. This was my first experience with raw food, and I would definitely go back. It’s pricey, sure, when you consider that you’re eating a bunch of artfully arranged veggie slices and nuts, but Grezzo has a great ambiance and food that has much more flavor and richness than I expected. You can also get takeout of their«ice cream» and«cheeses,» which my friends plan to do in the future.

I wish I had read the reviews a little closer before I tried this place out. I had been to a raw live place in NYC a few years back. I do think vegan/vegetarian chefs are some of the most innovative out there, but this concept is a bit beyond my comfort(and digestive ability) so I think this will be the last time for me. The bf and I(how I dragged my poor meat and potatoes bf out here, I have no idea, but I feel sorry for him sometimes!) tried this place out on a random Th night. The menu looked innovative and interesting, so I was looking forward to something different. The night started off great with sangria(not sure there was much alcohol, but the fruit was delicious). We both got the tasting menu, figuring we might as well try a bunch of stuff. Won’t go into detail on what was good/bad, except we did think the sliders were awesome(whatever that pattie is made out of is fantastic). Other than that, it was just experimentation and for the most part, we were left wishing there was a bit more flavor or heat. The desserts weren’t bad, and actually I did have one salad that I really liked. Two factors, though, will prevent me from ever going back here and are responsible for the low rating on this place. 1. Price. 2 drinks and 2 tasting menus, when considering tip, was almost $ 200. Wow!!! We knew what we were getting into with the $ 59 tasting menu, but I guess we thought we’d actually enjoy more than 20% of what we ordered. Unnecessarily overpriced and taking advantage of those who want to try something new, innovative, and healthy. 2. The pipe-cleaning issue. Both the bf and I had digestive issues the night/morning after this meal. For myself, it’s been 5 days and I am still having major cramps which I am almost sure have been instigated by this meal. I don’t know if it’s the raw, live, or vegan part. All I know is my future North End dining will be a big ol’ plate of pasta, some red wine, and a cannoli, thankyouverymuch. I guess I’ll end this review with a quote from my bf last night at 3am, when I was rolling around with stomach cramps cursing Grezzo: «See? Just goes to show that food should have both meat and heat.»

I think this restaurant is great. That said, I probably wouldn’t frequent this place for dinner very often. I wanted to try everything, so I dove into the chef’s tasting. This is the first tasting that didn’t leave me stuffed to the point of discomfort. It is the same price as any other chef’s tasting that would leave you so full that you hate yourself, however. All of the food is more tasty than I would have expected. New to raw food(like me)? This is definitely a good place for an introduction. Do I recommend pigging out on the chef’s tasting on your fist visit? I think it’s the sort of thing a person might want to adjust to first. Have you ever sat down and eaten a whole watermelon? Eating the whole Chef’s tasting is sort of like that. Start with the gnocchi. Get the ravioli for the entrée. End with the cheese cake. Avoid anything that is supposed to be bread. No matter what, even if you can’t stand vegetables, go there for the sangria. It isn’t a typical sangria, but it is brilliant. It’s served with a spoon for devouring the delicious, seasonal fruits.

While traveling around the east coast with my brother and sister-in-law last week I did a lot of eating by myself(because I am vegan and they are not). I heard about Grezzo from some Boston area vegans, and they said I should check it out. I am so glad I did. It was the most money I have ever spent on food, but it was one of the best meals I have had. I got the chef’s tasting menu which was great, I got two soups, two appetizers(the sliders were awesome), house salad, papaya steak, and the apple pave for dessert. It was really good, and the service was excellent. I didn’t think to make a reservation but I got there at 5, so it wasn’t a problem being seated.

Meal was great– the nut ‘cheeses’ turned out to be much better than any fake cheese I’ve ever had– really a different category altogether– and the vegetables were varied, fresh, and very tasty. The food was presented beautifully. The staff was eerily cheerful. As one of my dining companions pointed out, by not heating the food the flavors don’t mix, so the only thing you taste is what is in your mouth. With the exception of the nut cheeses, this renders everything to be just an interesting salad. Delicious food, but uncomfortable seating. I was freezing the entire time. The Kambucha virgin mojito is fabulous. The cheesecake pie crust was to die for, and the cheesecake itself was pretty darn good. My favorite dishes(there were three of us, we shared 2 different appetizers, 3 entrees, and 2 desserts) were any that involved one of the nut cheeses. An un-warmed soup is less satisfying in the winter/early spring. Would probably be amazing for summertime meals! I’ll return when my vegan sister/friends visit.

When I was 12, my father was hopelessly obsessed with Ann Wigmore, the pioneer of whole, raw foods, and forced our entire family to convert. My childhood was filled with dehydrated roll-ups, sprouted legumes and mysterious, odd-colored«smoothies.» My epicurean sensibilities have been skeptical ever since. Until now. Enter Grezzo: bright and tiny, ambitious and interesting. And completely transformed my entire experience and perception of raw foods as bland and one-dimensional into that of vitality, complexity and utter deliciousness. The key to enjoyment is not to dine comparing the meal to traditional tastes, but to appreciate the real flavors of the organic ingredients in their own right. Because the menu changes every week depending on available ingredients, I’d suggest opting for the tasting menu. To Vanessa’s point about making the cuisine less nut heavy, sprouted beans can often do the trick without the dense lipid content. Cure cancer and disease? Perhaps. Add to culinary diversity? Most definitely.

I was visiting Boston with my boyfriend and two girlfriends. We stopped by Grezzo because one of the girls loves to eat at raw food restaurants. I had no idea what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. Grezzo is an upscale restaurant, meaning overly-priced dishes with barely-there quantities. We decided to share everything, as to sample as many of the raw concoctions as we could. We had: Tomato Basil Soup– this was delicious, and I would definitely eat this on a regular basis. It was cool, creamy, and had a hint of spice. Gnocci– This was my favorite dish, I have no idea what it was made of, but it was so great. It didn’t taste like pasta, but it had an excellent pine nut-inspred sauce and raw peas. I highly recommend this dish. Mushroom Lasagna– This was decent, and they did a great job of re-creating a sort of goat cheese. They also served it with a delicious basil pesto. Mojito’s– I was dissappointed to find that these were alcohol free, but they were created with kombucha, sparkling mineral water, and mint. They were actually really tasty, despite the lack of alky. Cheesecake– This is the best non-cheesecake I’ve had. It was really, really, really good. It was made mostly of nuts, with fresh fruit. I loved it, despite it tasting nothing like real cheesecake. I’m sorry I don’t remember the exact prices of every item, but the total was around $ 100. It was a fun experience, the wait staff was kind and attentive, and the owner even stopped by to check up on us. One thing that was strange to me was that the bathroom is in the kitchen. I think it i neat to go back and see all the items being prepared, but at the same time it seems a bit unclean. I was also dissappointed at the lack of space. Despite having reservations, we were shoved up against the walkway. Being a new restaurant, I have faith they will sort all of these things out and will be a success.
