Blood is running in the streets.
I sent around an email about this yesterday, but Lawrence suggested I might want to note that The Veranda has closed.
Rob Balon has some comments here. He’s a lot more sympathetic to the place than we are. The Saturday Dining Conspiracy ate there once; it wasn’t the worst SDC ever, but it was in the bottom 10. (Not mentioned in that review, because I didn’t find out until later; at least two of the people in our party actually got sick after eating there.)
On the other hand, Louie’s 106 has also closed. This was a place I liked, though it was a bit outside my price range for normal dining. The reasons for closing are unclear: the Statesman says they haven’t been able to contact the owner, but Rob Balon suggests that it might have had something to do with mechanical and structural problems in the building.
And the capper: Joe DiMaggio’s in the Domain is closed. We didn’t get a chance to try it, though we were trying to make arrangements. The problem we had was that we wanted to take our great and good friend (and sometime commenter here) Joe DiMaggio (really, that’s his real name. I’ve seen his Texas driver’s license) with us when we went. Oh, well; another good joke spoiled.
We’d get a lot of phone calls for them asking for reservations.
Despite the temptation to act like I was actually the restaurant and take a “reservation”, I never did.
The wife and I went there once. Expensive, but the food was awesomely delicious.
