Lavinia's Relaxed Dining Closed

Really sorry to see another Lakes Region restaurant shuttered. As a year-rounder, it's sad to see the dwindling number of choices for dining out around the lakes.

I have to admit that I stopped going there after two bad experiences that occurred after several very good experiences. The first was a terrible dining experience (food and service) with friends whom I had told that this was one of the best restaurants in the area. I came away embarrassed about my unqualified recommendation. The last straw was a subsequent visit with only my spouse that was just as bad as the dinner with friends.

I have always been puzzled how restaurant quality can be so variable over time -- even under consistent ownership. Is it constant personnel turnover in the kitchen and front-of-house?
