clchurch Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Does anyone know what happened to it? A couple of weekds back I called on a Thursday afternoon to make a Friday night reservation and when I got there, it was closed. Walked by last night around 10pm and it was closed too.

tastedc Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Trouble has been brewing there for awhile, especially after they filed for bankruptcy/reorganization! Bad concept: 2 floors, 2 KITCHENS (!) AND 2 different dining concepts, but really only 1 chef to run the whole thing...unfortunately, I think the Banks haven't been focusing on running a business, and I think the place was more used for partying then for selling food...I noticed the problem when I held a cooking class there and the chef didn't show up on time, Sharon wasn't prepared and she didn't know the financial deal I had arranged with Jimmie...food was very good though, but this is simply a case where food and reputation can't keep a place alive unless the management is there to run an operation. Lack of management killed this establishment, assuming it has closed? The phone number has a strange answer, call for fun: 202-248-6007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to show that talent in itself does not a business make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
