It is very sad that they closed. I had such high hopes for them. I myself have heard a whirlwind of stories about the place, and reasons why they may have closed. One, is I heard that they kept butting heads with the hotel owner (no surprise there, really) and another was that they just conducted very bad business with the employees. Apparently the chef that was hired, didn't get paid for like 3-5 weeks, and when he confronted them about it, they had him removed from the property. When he came back, they fired him. Now, I don't know if any of that is true, but again, I wouldn't be surprised. And then there was the fact that they were serving AND charging for alcohol with out a liquor license. But by everything else I've heard as well, I'm not surprised that they closed. I am hoping that someone with the right heart will buy the place and re-open it anew.
