IMO, there wasn't an appreciable difference in food quality or service after Joe left. The difference was...no Joe. He was/is the best 'front of the
house' restaurateur, ever. |
Agreed.

Last I talked to him was a year ago. The new owners had not performed but it was his intention to do almost anything not to take it back. I
don't blame him. He's no spring chicken and was enjoying his semi-retirement. His wife, however, was peeed. If it was up to her they'd be shark bait.

Last time I saw Dmytri I asked him if was happy about selling the place?? His response?? He jumped up in the air at least 3 feet, clicked his heels
together and said BEST THING I EVER DID!!!
At some point, well before the slowdown, I was talking with one of the new owners. He claimed the place was worth at least $15 Mil...and NOT Pesos!!
I almost fell off the fricking cliff!!!
I for one would love to own the place...price is everything.

Service at La Fonda has been horrible since Dimytri sold his place. Richard, the new owner decided to spend his profits in off-road racing a class
seven instead of fixing the place.

Which is what my wife and I did by shifting our alliances to (next door) Poco Cielo.
Plus, Cheryl, the owner, is using my experience to help attract locals, tweak her menu, and helped in making a better life for Alfie...their pet
parrot African Grey.

those bloody maries coming. BW, wait til you see the new beach at Bocana. Wow.

Pretty tore up I imagine. I saw a photo of it on LaBocana.org.
How was the upper road? Any hazards along the way? Heading down Friday a.m.
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

We love Dmytri and we love Cheryl, from Poco Cielo. Staying with Cheryl is the best place in my eyes. La Mision is hopebully better now that the male
manager is gone. I hear Berta is the manager now. THANK GOD. I refused to stay there when he(don't know his name) was manager. Elizabeth is wonderful
too. This is the area I am looking to live, come July!!
