A few days later, after the snow melted, they had a re-grand opening on January 28.

Sure we'd heard stories: the owner has an attitude, don't expect friendly, thinks he's too good for his customers. There are no reservations, and there's always a line, so there's no winning. Absolutely wrong. That we had to tromp down the slushy ice field that was the Burke Gilman on Friday night explains the lack of a line on our visit,…
