hello everyone hope you're having the most wonderful day today welcome to the
Film Insight channel for the tenth installment in the series we're going to discuss some more
businesses featured on restaurant Impossible and reveal if they're still open so sit back
relax and without further ado let's get right into the content guys Maniacis Italian bistro
for the season 5 episode chef robert Irvine pays a visit to the failing manager's italian bistro to
try and save it from closure being a family-owned restaurant it was passed down to three brothers
named jioff john and tim after their mother tragically passed considering the fact that it
was so sudden and that they needed her expertise to run the business the siblings were set up for
disaster losing close to four thousand dollars a month for the past three years the brothers have
run out of funds to sink into the business and are expecting to close down very soon not knowing
what else to do they call out to the restaurant impossible team and irvine for some help upon his
arrival to manage he's utterly unimpressed with a dirty dining room that has stained ceiling tiles
and tons of dust and clutter meeting with the owners they discuss how the restaurant started
18 years ago as a sandwich shop but expanded to include a dining room and a bar area nine years
ago wanting to get an idea as to what the problem was irvine attempts to observe the dinner service
which is predictably very horrible not only do the customers hate the food often sending it back
they're also disturbed by the unkempt dining room what's more tim seems to be in denial that there's
anything wrong with the restaurant claiming that there's a conspiracy against him in the restaurant
due to this irvine believes that one of the biggest problems is tim's delusions and his
stubborn way of thinking talking to all three of the brothers privately jon seems to blame
himself for the problems at the restaurant but irvine admits that they're all in part to blame
following this conversation they agree to give jioff leadership responsibility so the staff has
someone to take orders from before relaunching the famous chef teaches the kitchen staff how
to cook the new dishes he was going to implement this included simple things like chicken parmesan
but also delicious dishes like branzino with roasted tomatoes and olive oil poached mushrooms
after the dining room and general decor was revamped as well as the menu changed
managers was ready to relaunch thankfully the customers and staff alike were ecstatic with
both the new look and improved food quality for a moment after irvine left the brothers
received an amazing surge of customers and were up by fifteen thousand dollars the first month
reviews on yelp and tripadvisor after the show were generally mixed some saying the food was
sublime and others saying it was alright however the restaurant seemed to have closed down in
april of 2014 only a year after the episode was taped supposedly the owners weren't able to keep
up with the rising costs and were forced to shut things down how unfortunate when seeker restaurant
robert irvine heads to the windseeker restaurant in dales oregon to try and save it from closing
down owned by evita bingman and her husband ray who purchased the restaurant 18 years
prior to the taping of this episode they invested a total of 750 thousand dollars into the business
while may have been successful for the first six years things have started to decline in recent
times to make matters worse rey sadly passed while vita was being treated for breast cancer which was
hard to deal with on top of running a restaurant needing some extra help she asked her former
manager patty to return but things didn't really get better desperate to get the restaurant back on
its feet vita called out to chef irvine for some much needed guidance when he arrives he notices
that the area surrounding the restaurant is very beautiful especially with the garden and lake view
although the inside's a different story since it's a complete mess so he meets
with the owner and general manager to get an idea what problems are at hand supposedly paddy
considers herself a very good manager but due to the restaurant's bad press and reputation
they're unable to get new customers wanting to observe the service to see the issues for himself
he notices that the customers hate the food and think the restaurant looks like a thrift shop
testing some meals for himself everybody thinks the food is all right but could drastically
improve with some training meeting with designer lin to talk about how they were going to revamp
the design she expressed how she wanted to turn it into something more scenic getting the staff
to help with speeding up the transformation process they all help with removing the tables
chairs and decorations interestingly enough it's revealed that if any of the staff tries to speak
out against paddy's wrongdoings they wouldn't be put on schedule for the next week as a result the
employees seem to be really frightened of their boss which causes a lot of communication issues
the following day irvine confronts patty asking her to solely focus on being a general manager
rather than try to do everything to make up for vita's lack of work before finally relaunching
irvine attempts to teach the staff how to make the dishes on their new menu which they all thought
were delicious upon the restaurant's eventual reopened the diners seemed to praise the beautiful
decor and amazing food several months later after the show aired business seemed to have gone up by
thirty thousand dollars but sadly the food class also went up at the very least patty evolved into
a much better general manager and her ability to run the restaurant had improved significantly
unfortunately the restaurant closed down in april of 2015 a bit more than a year after veda passed
away makes you rest in peace nanny goats cafe in feed bin for this restaurant impossible episode
robert irvine visits goat's cafe and feed bin to rescue it from closure the owner nancy duprey has
had nothing but success with the other restaurants she owns though nanny's goat seems to be the only
one that's struggling having moved to kilgore to be with her mother two years prior to the taping
of this episode she didn't know what to do so she opened up the cafe like most restaurants
on the show things were great in the beginning though their customer base suddenly dwindled down
needing some help she hired her daughter jessica to become the restaurant's cook but
nancy's come to think that she's the reason why things have gone awry with little time left before
the restaurant would have to close for good nancy called out to irvine for some assistance when he
arrives he meets nancy and jessica to discuss the restaurant's problems and it's revealed that they
have to spend 70 thousand dollars to redo the kitchen asking about the business's finances the
owner doesn't seem to really know which is already an issue while observing the service irvine
notices that the food is being released at a good pace but most of the customers aren't enjoying
their meals this leads the restaurant impossible host to believe that the restaurant went downhill
the moment jessica was brought into the kitchen since her cooking was very poor holding a staff
meeting later on they put the blame on the mother-daughter duo for the lack of customers
they believe that jessica's food is terrible and that nancy wrongfully hired her daughter for a
job she is not qualified to do after modifying the menu to make it easier for someone in experience
like jessica and redesigning the dining room the restaurant was finally able to relaunch thankfully
both the food and decor were praised by the new customers and the night went on without any major
complications fast forward to a while after irvine left nancy decided to sell the business so she
could retire which resulted in jessica leaving as well although it seems like the old staff decided
to continue working there especially since the new owners managed to increase the restaurant's
profitability however for reasons that have yet to be explained the restaurant closed down
in november of 2013. it seems like there's another nanny's goat open in longview though
joe willy seafood house as our final entry we're going to discuss a restaurant robert irvine
visited called joe wiley's seafood house which was on the verge of closing down upon his arrival
he talks to the owners and dana white who had been running the restaurant for over five years
his impression of the place is not the greatest describing it to look run down with peeling floors
and ceiling watermarks the owners also reveal that it costs them 140 000 to purchase the business and
that the main reason the restaurant is failing is because of the location as well as partially
them as usual the famous chef observes the dinner service and notices that joe doesn't communicate
well with the staff trying to do everything for himself on top of that being the cook
his technique is awful and is completely ruining their fresh produce due to the poor communication
the staff hold little respect for the owners which causes even more issues after meeting with
designer lin and discussing their renovation plans irvan gets the staff to clear out the restaurant
later on irvine notices that dana suddenly left the restaurant and he finds out that she was going
to work at another restaurant to make some income promising that he was going to make the restaurant
