Disappointment ...

The downtown Culver's recently moved and we were happy to hear that a family-owned restaurant was going to take over the building where Culver's had been. The news story gave the impression that it was to be a Greek restaurant, but I think a closer reading would have shown that the owners were Greek -- not that the food served would be Greek. Tom did not catch the slight difference and had been looking forward to getting a decent gyro. He checked every time we went through town for the past month or so to see if it had opened, and today was the day.

At least, it was open. How lucky was that? Maybe not so much.

Tom had been helping Rich and Peg move Rich's mom to a nearby assisted living facility (one I visit every week on the Bookmobile), and he noticed on the way back through town that the new place was open. So he called just as I was getting off work at the library to tell me to stay in town; he would come to the library and we could walk over to try the new place. As it turned out, Rich and Peg called him about then and decided to try it, too. They met us at the library and we all walked a couple of blocks to get dinner. The ladies at the library demanded that we report back to them in detail.

Okay, one look at the menu and -- clearly not Greek food. They do have gyros (not prepared the way Tom prefers), but it was mostly just sandwiches and such. We all had fish dinners. (It is Friday in Wisconsin, after all.) The best I think we could say about the food would be adequate. I think the library ladies will be disappointed. Except for Kris, since one of her sons runs another eatery in town. That is a great place to eat, and Justin and his partner have no reason to worry about competition from the new restaurant.

Oh, well.
