Great question. When you get an answer would you please post it.

Ouch.

I'd hate to have my good memories of The Tell be besmirched by allegations of greed / fraud, but the point could be well taken.

Time will tell (pun intended).

If you bought your gift certificates on your credit card you can easily get a back charge credit.

Whenever buying gift certificates it's always best to put them on your credit card for this exact reason.

Had not thought of that - I did pay by CC, so I'll explore this avenue. I'm hoping they open up for summer and the gift certs can be redeemed.

The for-sale signs are gone (or were gone, last time I went by - a couple of days ago), and there was a flat of stones there - in the front, indicating possibly some repairs..

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... anyone know any more?

Looks like they were just getting a new sign or changing brokers. Now there is an even more prominent sign there (for sale)

Went to Meadowbrook last night, left early hoping to have dinner there (haven't been on here for awhile to see they were closed) and rocks are across the driveway with (as someone else said) a very prominent sign saying for sale...... very sad that such a good restaurant that was in business for so many years is now gone.

This makes me so sad. We are heading up to the Lake tomorrow for a week and we had planned to go to dinner at the William Tell Inn as we have always done every year because the whole family loved it. Now what? Where will I get a salad with corn and beets? I have gone there for years and will miss it...what a shame to see such a nice place close.

Sounds like a pretty reasonable price.

If I could cook that type of food, other than an awesome sauerbraten, i would be happy to buy it. I don't think, however, one menu item would make it!
