I, too, have practically no position in the stock. However, I have been to the restaurant and read tons of reviews including reviews by restaurant critics, and it's downright false that it's been "assessed as mediocre at best by most people" -- total horseshit.

I don't think my criticism was harsh, especially since I'm actually in uWink's target market and understand that 5pm on a Saturday night (or is it afternoon?) is not when uWink, Friday's, Yard House, or Dave & Busters gets it's crowd. In addition, I have brought numerous people to uWink who are always dying to go back and asking about it often, and every time I go I see a restaurant filled with happy people. Obviously it's not "mediocre at best" when, despite it's terrible location in Woodland Hills, people keep seeking out and making return visits and deciding to host birthday parties over and over and over again.

Furthermore, the numbers don't lie -- the 1st location's revenue per square foot is keeping up with some of the most successful restaurants in the country. And it ain't because people are finding it "medicore at best" -- that's just silly.

I would bet anybody $10,000 that if you did a survey of 100 people leaving uWink on a Saturday night (and not at 5pm, lol -- TRY when going when grandma and grandpa are asleep), you will find the vast majority of them were very satisifed with their visit and would consider coming back in the future.
