I wish the new owners the best of success, but as a constructive criticism, IMO the website language is a public relations mis-judgement.

Yeah, so maybe public relations or marketing isn't their forte. I'd wager a guess that there are just a few things going on with trying to get the place opened, and writing an eloquent bit of prose describing their process for selecting customers for the soft-opening didn't get all the attention it might have been best served by.
It would be foolhardy to assume that someone is sinking their time and capital into a new business in a seasonal area in a down economy, and then is going to protect that investing by offending their potential clientele on purpose.
