Hi EAV Buzzers, Let me introduce myself. I am Ed the "new owner" of the GRAVITY PUB. In the past 6 months I have met many great people in the EAV. I had heard from a few patrons that there was a community website that I should look at since there has been some recent writings about the Gravity. So I took the time to read the posts and hope that I can answer questions or rumors so that the record is straight. I purchased the Gravity "as is" on 03-01-11. I knew the condition both structurally and financially that it was in at that time. I still decided to purchase it for two reasons; first, it has great potential and second it reminded me of CHEERS but in this case I call it CHEERS with Tattoos. I and my family have been in the food/ restaurant business for over 50 years. So that is some background.
What I heard from many of the locals that have been coming here since it first open up in 98 was not to change anything. But with any evolving business change is needed on occasion. I didn't change the decor but one of the first things I did upon purchasing was to change the menu and fill up the taps and bottles at the bar. I spoke to many locals and looked at reviews online. That was definitely needed. So we put together a great menu and launched within the first two weeks. It went over well. We discarded 90% of the all fried menu and adding items for vegetarians and some other bar type sandwiches, burgers, unique items and dinners. All reasonably priced. Many people came out and tried it. We have received very good feedback. It is now 6 months since the new menu. There are items that sold well and items that did not. So we chose to make changes this month. we took off some items and added a few new ones. We make everything from scratch ( so you might come in and we might be out of something at that time). The only frozen item on the menu is the TOTS. So redoing the menu was important so we could eliminate items that just weren't selling. I think if you have been here since March1 and had something on the menu, most likely it is still there. If you have not been here since I took over, I hope you will give us a try. Over the past two and a half weeks, we had a transition/scaled down menu. I did this so that I can prepare the kitchen for the changes. During that time two of my cooks were deployed and I have been hiring and training new cooks. So it made sense to get them going with the simple menu. So, if you came in during that time, i do apologize if you were not happy with the menu selection or the quality. I make every effort to ensure that the food goes out consistent and of the highest standard. With that being said, To EAV BUZZ user JAMES- it is unfortunate that you happened to come in after a year and experience the limited menu. Furthermore that your meal was not good, especially the chips. You may have been there the same night i was. I wasn't working. I actually sat and had a meal with a friend to see how my new staff was doing. Unfortunately, I experienced the same burnt chips as you. I was able to do something about it. I showed the cook how it is to be done. He chose not to do that. Now he was asked to move on. The chips actually come out like they are suppose to. So James, even though I am very hands on, I am not there every night. But I would like you to come back and try something on the new menu, it will be on me. I want you to have a great food experience like many have since I took over. Just ask for me. I hope that anyone on here that hasn't come to the Gravity yet that you do so.
With all that being said. The new menu is on FACEBOOK @
