I get the personal attachment and realize you might not think to have a need to trademark it...
Strange thing here is that the restaurant in question was trying to get away from the exact same issue of another restaurant with same name and it causes this.

I can only go by what I read, but it doesn't seem like it was a blatant attempt to steal... at least based on what the article says.

Approximately 4,000 entries were submitted during a contest last year to rename Dale's West. Lindsey Jackson of Fort Pierce submitted the winning name and wins free barbecue for a year, a prize worth $1,040.

I hope you have a legit case and can win.
