Restaurants On The Edge Season 2: Where Are They Now?
Here’s a look at the Restaurants On The Edge season 2 restaurants now. How well are the eateries doing since appearing on the Netflix show?
Ready to do all they can to revamp struggling businesses, the Restaurants On The Edge team consists of design expert Karin Bohn, restauranteur Nick Liberato, and chef Dennis Prescott. Together, the three experts evaluate what is going wrong with each restaurant and what they can do to improve it. The team often takes inspiration from the local area as the eateries featured on the show are located in stunning environments.
Each Restaurants on the Edge episode, Karin often finds local artists to create interior design pieces. Nick has the joyous job of delivering (often negative) restaurant reviews to the owners, while Dennis gets to enjoy tasting for new menus. Season 2 featured restaurants from all over the world. The team updated bistros, beach bars, and restaurants in Slovenia, Canada, Finland, Hawaii, the Caribbean, and Arizona.
Restaurants on the Edge S2, E1: Zmauc, Slovenia
When the Restaurants on the Edge team showed up at family restaurant Žmauc, they were pretty confused. The outside appearance of the establishment had a street vibe but the inside was the total opposite. The team said it didn’t have a restaurant feel and was dated. After having the restaurant in the family for 23 years, it was safe to say that owners Ksenja and Matjaz really wanted to make Žmauc work. They described their restaurant as being “like a second child” and wanted to have a well-running restaurant for their son, Luka, to take over in the future. Today the Ljubljana eatery has four and a half out of five stars on Trip Advisor.
Restaurants on the Edge S2, E2: The Outboard Pub, Okanagan Valley
Run by father and daughter duo Anne and Campbell, season 2, episode 2 took viewers to The Okanagan Valley, Canada. The Outboard Pub’s issues became apparent as soon as the team tasted the menu. The owners were buying in frozen produce from other countries. Dennis immediately made a point of making use of the establishment’s incredible location. Some great produce can be grown in the Okanagan Valley but The Outboard Pub wasn’t taking advantage of that at all. Of course, the pub had some wonderful views as it’s located right on the waterfront; but the dining experience didn’t live up to the view. Following the pub’s makeover, it now ranks at number 16 of 25 for bars in Vernon. The Outboard Pub has also gained three and a half out of five stars on Trip Advisor.
Restaurants on the Edge S2, E3: Ruissalon Maininki, Finland
Marina and Turo had some difficulty running their restaurant which is located a fifteen-minute boat ride away from Turku. The decor hadn’t been updated since taking over from the previous owners and the team remarked that it almost felt like a museum. Although the couple was unsure where to take their restaurant, Marina described Ruissalon Maininki as feeling “like home“. Marketing was a really important element in getting Ruissalon Maininki relaunched. They’re now making use of social media, as the restaurant can be found on Instagram @ruissalonmaininki. Ruissalon Maininki has five out of five stars on Trip Advisor, but only one review. As of June 2020, they’ve added a new boat menu to the restaurant, providing food and drink for groups of four who want to enjoy an evening on the water.
Restaurants on the Edge S2, E4: The Creative Plate Eatery, Canada
Episode 4 saw Karin, Nick, and Dennis head to Ontario, Canada. Chef and owner of The Creative Plate Eatery, Connie, was running all elements of the restaurant which meant that she was being stretched thin. Drawing inspiration from the area, the team managed to revamp The Creative Plate Eatery. Connie said she was “over the moon” with the reveal. Today the restaurant has an impressive four and half out of five stars on Trip Advisor. It’s also rated number one for restaurants in Gravenhurst.
Restaurants on the Edge S2, E5: The Aloha Vista Bar & Grill, Hawaii
After buying the restaurant, Siri and Sunny didn’t change any elements of Aloha Vista Bar & Grill. The decor was sad but the couple wanted the place to ooze “Hawaii”. The menu consisted of mainly Italian food, although the eatery looked out onto the Pacific ocean. With access to some of the best fish on the planet, food expert Dennis wanted to reflect that in the new menu. Siri and Sunny were elated with the restaurant’s makeover however, it doesn’t seem to be on Trip Advisor or Instagram. The restaurant could be doing really well, but perhaps this wasn’t a success story like the other restaurants.
Restaurants on the Edge S2, E6: Louie & Nacho’s, St Croix
Louie and Nacho’s Beach Bar featured on season 2, episode 6 of the Netflix show. The experts’ minds were opened up to some unique foods on the original menu, including chicken parm and cheeseburger tacos. The menu was switched up along with the brown walls and decor. By the looks of Louie & Nacho’s IG page, the beach bar is doing very well in 2020. Delicious food and cocktails with a view await anyone who dines there. Monty and Shay’s beach bar has four out of five stars on Trip Advisor.
Restaurants on the Edge S2, E7: The Vu Bistro, Arizona
Last but not least, the final episode of season 2 saw the team travel to Arizona. Heidi was emotional as soon as Karin, Dennis, and Nick arrived. She was clearly overwhelmed with the running of her bistro. The restaurant owner even went to a sound healing class in order to find a sense of calm during the Restaurants on the Edge episode. Using fresh local ingredients, rather than fish and seafood sourced from afar; the menu was refreshed. Vu Bistro has gained three and half out of five stars on Trip Advisor, although its reviews aren’t all positive since appearing on the Netflix show. While the restaurant has 24 “Excellent” ratings, it also has 20 rated as “Terrible”.
