Sieve said he now has a big hole to fill in his heart.Īs what he likes to describe as a “back-of-the-house kind of guy,” Sieve loved cooking and said he still does. “A solid core customer base and we appreciated all of them.” He said the local crowd, the regular customers were the cake itself, but that the outsiders – those who came from out of town or weren’t frequent customers, were the icing. Sieve said he is going to miss all aspects of the restaurant – the work, the social aspect of it, the employees and most of all, the customers. “If things start to improve, I am not saying it is the end all for the Brass Lantern, but that people just need to be patient.” There needs to be a property like the Brass Lantern at the mall,” said Sieve. “There are still great merchants at the mall, but it needs support. Michael B’s is a resort bar and grill famous for their BBQ ribs, fire grilled craft burgers and Friday night Fish Fry. The Brass Lantern was open for the morning breakfast and afternoon lunch crowd and had a strong following for menu items such as pancakes, omelets, hot beef sandwiches and homemade pies. But he also said that a restaurant like Brass Lantern was the perfect complimentary restaurant as the two reached different clientele. Michael B’s and that Bistodeau’s restaurant is great. He knows that Dave Bistodeau has his niche with D. Sieve said he believes that the mall needs to have a restaurant like the Brass Lantern. It was all the right cards lining up, not just one, but a number of them that put us where we are at today.” “It really was a perfect storm of things,” he said. At 68-years-old, Sieve said age was also a factor and that it was time to retire.
