As a longtime Seal Beach business owner and supporter of "The Hill" community, I'd like to personally offer my enthusiastic support for the establishment of this new restaurant.

We are so glad to hear that a new restaurant will take its place and we look forward to visiting once open.

I am emailing in support of their request. I am a longtime Old Town resident, former Main Street business owner and have also worked at the Sun Newspapers and O'Malley's many years ago. In addition to that, I have known Ribeye Restaurant owner Erich Ziegler and his entire family for over 30 years, families like theirs are the best of the best. Coach's was a great local restaurant under ownership of Stan Anderson and then Steve Sepulveda. A local sports hang out that catered to our community ; I patronized often with my son's sports teams and with friends - so I was delighted to learn that Erich and his team were going to be taking it over and giving it the much needed upgrades and "love" that it desperately needed. This new addition in town is needed and welcomed by all that I have spoken with. There is no doubt in my mind that this business will be run respectfully with heart and soul and will represent the city and the community in the best light.

I have known the Ziegler family for over 40 years. I attended St. Hedwig Catholic School with both Christian and Erich, went to Los Alamitos High School with Christian and both were groomsmen in my wedding. I am one of the restaurant managers at Finbars Italian Kitchen. Joseph Barbara is a true example of how important local restaurants are to the Seal Beach community. I believe the Ziegler family will bring a similar restaurant and business culture to our city. I was fortunate to work for the Babcock family at Walt's Wharf in the late 90s and early 2000s. Walt and Mona also had a similar belief of partnering with the community. In these examples, both business have responsible owners that operated their restaurant's with full liquor licenses. My personal experience's with the restaurant business, these are restaurants that happen to have bars, not bars that happen to serve food. When operated by a professional and responsible ownership group, the 47 license offer restaurant guests more options to enhance their dining experience. One of the other benefits for the city is the more successful businesses/restaurants Seal Beach can boast, the more people will be drawn to city. A couple of other benefits are tax dollars and community support. Successful restaurants partner with community and support and donate to local groups and activities. Obviously the more successful the restaurant is, the more support can be invested back into the community. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I look forward to welcoming the Ribeye Restaurant Group to the Pavilion's parking lot.

I was friends with Mr Sepulveda (owner of Coaches) who tragically passed away. He has many friends and family who mourned his loss, seeing "Coaches" not thriving and catering to the community, not creating laughter and good times, is an absolute shame.

Not only have I been a resident on the Hill within a very short walking distance to the 1025 PCH for decades, I also owned and operated Coach's Sports Grill, the restaurant that has served Seal Beach at that address for over three decades. As a resident and future patron, I see an upgrade to the existing CUP to allow for the sale of spirits and an enhancement providing another option while dining at a local establishment owned by local owners. I look forward its opening. I have heard nothing but support from my friends and neighbors in Seal Beach who agree. As a former owner/operator at that space, I also believe that the upgrade is not only well-suited for, but also desired by, the local Seal Beach demographic that the restaurant will serve. As a resident and as a former owner/operator there, I don't see any negative impact arising from the upgrade. Finally, over the years I have come to personally know Christian and Erich (the brothers who own Ribeye Restaurant Group). I believe that the new version of the restaurant is in good hands and that they are committed to responsibly and honorably serving the community.
