. However, per conversations with Theodosiou, the most recent of these positions was in 2007 and none of them were ownership roles. . Theodosiou alleges he has consulted on opening 46 restaurant projects in New York, but declined to name any of them.
“Working in a fine dining establishment is fun,” says Martinez. “The kind of guests that you get are fun, they’re happy you’re there to entertain them and let them know your knowledge of food and wine. [The servers] felt like they couldn’t do that anymore. They couldn’t be like the servers they wanted to be.”
Simi Estiatorio received a letter dated March 18 stating that it owed back rent of $733,164.96, an amount indicating that the restaurant had not paid rent since opening . Theodosiou claims there was an agreement with the building that Simi, whose opening was allegedly delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, would only pay rent after itin May 2021. Theodosiou says the restaurant’s rent was $16,515.56 monthly, plus additional profits based on the restaurant’s performance.
The restaurant still owes money to other vendors, including their former PR company, Say My Name Communications, and Heritage Seafood, which Theodosiou later confirmed in interviews.
