"These past two years were filled with a lot of successes and failures, a lot of mixed emotions trying to navigate post-Covid world downtown," Spero states, highlighting the challenges faced in the restaurant industry after the pandemic. His sentiment reflects a common struggle among restaurateurs as they adapt to new realities surrounding customer behavior and operational capacities.
"Financially very hard on us and a slow summer season took the wind out of our sail," Spero explains, shedding light on the difficulties that contributed to the closure of Bar Spero. This challenges the notion that successful restaurants can thrive without facing substantial external economic pressures.
"I'm embarrassed and upset that I disappointed anybody. We weren't able to make it happen," Spero reveals. This quote underscores the emotional toll that the closure of the restaurant has taken on him as a chef and business owner, emphasizing the personal investment and connection he felt towards Bar Spero.
