Yeah. I used to be a medium, now XL. Took several decades to make the transition. And I still have take home from Lyons Den.
Let';s face it, Lyons Den has some very dedicated patrons, some who are never pleased anywhere, and some who will, over time, move into the dedicated category.
Aside from quality, price, service, etc I appreciate the reservation process that gets me in and lets me know that my neighbors will be arriving later and we can all be seated sometime, instead of being turned away.

Lyon's Den is our favorite restaurant in the lakes region. Food, service overall dining experience are second to none. No other restaurant comes close.

One thing I can tell you for sure is that everyone's opinion varies depending on their own taste. I find Lyon's Den good but nothing special. Squam Lake Inn good. Lavinia's, Canoe, Lago, Lemon Grass, Corner house all good. For OUR money, Woodshed and Lakehouse Grille slightly better than aforementioned. i guarantee other opinions will vary.

I've run my own business for over 40 years and I can tell you that it's impossible to please everyone. I always think of the line in the movie "Road House", "be nice until I tell not to be nice". There are just some people that are impossible to please and will push you to the limit no matter how nice you are.
As a customer I'm not a complainer in public unless provoked. If I don't like an establishment I just don't go back. There are plenty of others businesses that will gladly take my hard earned money.

Absolutely agree, like you we were in business for over 55 years and you can't please everyone, it is virtually impossible. I have found always be pleasant for as long as possible, let them try somebody else and many times they eventually return
