Look they went from the Brookhaven provisions concept on a Saturday and literally overnight perhaps over a 1 to 2 day period hung some drapes and painted the sign and opened as Fiorello's. It was a very high-priced fine dining menu but yet zero effort was put into the atmosphere and dining tables and chairs. Half the room was literally outdoor furniture, and the other half the room had the most uncomfortable chairs that were taken out of storage from an old restaurant in the 80s Fiorello himself literally told several people he pulled it all together quickly and used what was available. They had the best attitude and customer service nailed perfect, but around that terrific human emotion there was nothing else around it that was tangible to support and sustain such an high-priced fine dining operation. From the outside in the parking lot it looks like it could be the next Saint as in St. Cecilia and from the inside it felt like the next El Monterey.

I agree with one of the above comments, the common thread is (not only) Tricia but also the Hungry Peach - catering and box lunch experience does not equate to experience running even a casual restaurant or a fine dining establishment. I wish Bagelicious would take the space or an experienced real Italian restaurant (not a Pizza Restaurant ala Galla's or Corner Pizza). Lastly advice for the next restaurant to occupy the space - if they left the dining furniture behind please toss it all in a dumpster fire.
