I understand that the new to be management have failed failed to make any attempt to meet with the local condo owners. Without the support of the local owners, it is set to fail before it even tries to open. Somone is making a terrible investment.

you are probably right, but it is because there is little access by boat with all of the docks filled by condo owners and the place is difficult to get to by land. you have to walk through the condo complex.
having said that, if they get cheap beer and fast women, they will fill the place with locals, and not even need the lake crowd. If I were a condo owner, I would be worried that the new owners would turn it into a juke joint for trailer trash.
condo owners might want to work with the new people so that the place appeals to the crowd that would most benefit them.

... I can't believe the arrogance and audacity of those folks that PAID for those boat slips actually parking their boat in them. Who do they think they are?

Audacity? I seem to recall hearing that word far too frequently during the past year. How about this - yes the residents are paying for parking, but what about the lack of Global Equality? Just because someone cannot afford the condo (or the beer, loose women and associated medical expenses) does not mean that they should not be allowed to join in the "fun". At the very least they should be provided with mooring bouys and steps from the lake to the joint...

I am sorry. I forgot that we now live in ObamaNation where we are all equal except those that are more equal than others.

When a restaurant is situated so that visitors by land must go through a housing complex, or face a parking issue when they come by water, it's an issue. Surrounding a public place with private owners may cause problems. I saw Monday that the sign had been uncovered, and imagined that the restaurant was reopening.
As lots have stated, we need more restaurants on the lake, so I wish them well. It's a public business, so the clientele can't really be filtered. If one has the money, then they are welcome.
If I owned one of the condos surrounding it, I would have hoped the new restaurant owners would meet with us to discuss any concerns though.

It's been a business axiom for some time that if a place fails several times, it is most likely going to do so again. Sometimes opening a different business works. You mentioned location, and that is very likely the main problem. Opening this late in the season is also going to work against them. All that said, I do wish them well and hope they make it.

I love reading the posts. Laugh at all of them from people who are educated but get so excited and wrapped up in their comments they don't even proof the post for spelling....
I also agree that a business opening in an area with homeowners should meet/consult with them and get their thoughts.
Other than that, "duke it out".
