M3 restaurant closed due to seizure

[ron_newman]

M3 restaurant, at Highland Ave and Cutter Ave, has big orange SEIZED signs plastered all over the doors and windows.

A notice left at the front door says that the Constable's Office seized the restaurant on behalf of landlord Christos Poutahidis, because the restaurant owes the landlord $25,238.

Shit! I was just there on Monday. It was my favorite restaurant in the immediate area. :(

Ugh, that is SO sad.

So much for the Amazon Local food voucher I had with them, I guess!

nooooo!

Ah. So that is what the locksmith was doing there around 5:30pm last night -- changing the locks. It was decidedly not cool that he decided he could just park in the bus stop, though.

Well, damn. I was really hoping to try that place. :(

Just when it seemed like a restaurant could finally succeed in that location...

derspatchel and I ate there the first week they opened—they were one of our regular restaurants. We'd been worrying about them for a while, but this is not a reassuring answer to our questions!

I've been to M3 three times and it was just awful food every time. I do not understand how this place is liked by so many.

Huh. It seemed like they were always packed. I'm surprised they had so much debt.

Unless there's more to the story.

That name rings a bell as someone connected to the monstrosity at Summer and Cutter. Is it terrible of me to assume that he must be at least in part in the wrong because of that?

I gave this place three tries and all three times the staff was super rude. Beyond "I'm having a bad day" rude.
1. Allergic to shrimp, I asked if I could substitute a chicken WING for the shrimp on the shrimp and grits. No. For an upcharge? No. I could pay the full shrimp and grits price (sans shrimp) and the full price for an order of wings. Wow, that seems fair. Same night, noticed their menu said brunch went until 3p
2. Next weekend, bring whole family for brunch. At 2:15p. Brunch is closed. But your menu and signage all say that brunch goes until 3p, why publish that if it's not true? Oh, it's "chef's choice" on when to close down brunch? Then how about you don't publish brunch hours if they're subject to change. And, thanks for the apology that you publish hours and then rescind them at will - oh wait, no, you didn't offer even an "I'm sorry about that" instead you acted like I was the jerk for trying to get brunch at 2:15p
3. Music incredibly loud with only 2 tables in the place. Asked if you could turn it down a little. Nope. Again, chef's choice.

Dear Chef: When you have made a name for yourself, a name everyone knows, THEN you get to act like an asshole and still have business. Until then, you kind of have to please your customers so they come back and/or tell other people. You have to build your business before you start destroying it.

I'm not sorry to see them gone.

I only ate there once. I found the food delicious, but the racism and classism in them having a "White Trash Sundae" ruined my appetite.

Noticed that at least some of the SEIZED signs are now gone and all of the windows are covered in black plastic, as of Saturday.

Well, damn.
