The owner of Toast also owned Pearl Street with Karen Small which also just had to close due to lease issues. I have no inside info on this but I wonder if this closing is to open something bigger together. Just seems like a weird coincidence to me.

I hope so, but I do think Toast's business was struggling too. I went there a few months ago on a Saturday evening and there were no other customers in the restaurant when I left around 7:00.

I went there a few months ago on a Saturday evening and there were no other customers in the restaurant when I left around 7:00. It was my wife's favorite - but I agree. We always brought our daughter there last summer when she was 4-8 months because there would be no one there to bother if she cried
March 27, 20241 yr It's sad to see this restaurant close. But 10 years is a great run for restaurants these days. Let's hope that a new restaurateur can take over the building and bring a new concept to this site.

March 30, 20241 yr Michael Symon's Mabel's BBQ at Eton - "temporarily closed" (as discussed above) since at least October/November - now has a "Mabel's BBQ has closed" sign on the door and "New Restaurant Announcement Coming Soon" stated below... though seemingly from the Eton development, not the Symon team. Related: Symon's business partner, Doug Petkovic's, adjacent Heritage Steak - announced in 2021 and opened 4 months ago - is still without signage of any sort, temporary or permanent, on the building exterior (save for, maybe, a paper sign on door.) Really, really odd for any restaurant, let alone one with $80+ steaks, in planning for 2+ years - from an experienced restaurateur. Edited March 30, 20241 yr by eyehrtfood

April 1, 20241 yr In more Larchmere news, Barroco is moving back into the Hola Tacos space: Quote This Spring @holatacoscle in the Larchmere neighborhood will come to an end and will become Barroco once more! With this amazing comeback we are also thrilled to announce that we have been working since last year to convert the adjacent storefront into a beautiful new speakeasy bar that will be connected from within to Barroco! More details to come on the speakeasy’s opening date later in 2024 https://www.facebook.com/Barrocoarepabar/posts/pfbid02sk7BezSJDFU1Sc3esdFqszXFyPb6fVp7kn6KA5RqbW6DavVbwPZLiR5Hc2G69dCJl Edited April 1, 20241 yr by bikemail

April 3, 20241 yr Congrats to Cordelia Chef Vinnie - as of today a James Beard Award finalist - as well as to business partner Andrew and team. Great, great, great people - and the best restaurant in town - and in many towns around. I've had dozens of great meals there in their 1.5ish years - I cant stay away - simply because they keep things new, fresh, and inventive on each version of the ever-changing menu. Almost unbelievably, it's meeting the high bars set by the legendary Lola, formerly in this space, and the formerly adjacent Greenhouse Tavern. I've got my res for this weekend! https://www.clevescene.com/food-drink/cordelias-vinnie-cimino-is-clevelands-sole-james-beard-awards-finalist-44040496 Edited April 3, 20241 yr by eyehrtfood

I sent my food back and left, I can't remember the last time I did that. You couldn't pay me to eat there again. Based on reviews I've seen, my experience was unfortunately not that unique. Themed restaurants are fun, but I wish they'd focus more on how the food tastes and less on how many different colors of food dye they can squeeze in. Hopefully they aren't making the same mistake with their new restaurant.
April 19, 20241 yr 1 minute ago, TBideon said: Not to take away your experience but the place does seem fairly popular. I live around there now, and I'd dispute that observation, but regardless. People are welcome to have their own opinion. For an objective measure, their rating on Google is 3.7 stars, which for a restaurant is pretty bad. It's 2.8 stars on Yelp, which is also bad. Objectively this restaurant has been poorly received.
April 19, 20241 yr Damn. That's a shame then. Fun concept and it seemed successful last year when I was there.
April 22, 20241 yr Tower City’s Astro lifts off tomorrow By Ken Prendergast / April 22, 2024 Yes, a new restaurant at Tower City Center in Downtown Cleveland really is out of this world. And The Astro Restaurant is going to lift off at 11 a.m. tomorrow, one block from the neighboring RocketMortage offices. But since the restaurant will be open only for dinner, it may prove to be popular for people attending evening events at the RocketMortgage FieldHouse just down the street.
