Restaurants

This morning I passed on the word from Creme’s Web site saying that they had closed. Turns out it was a hoax of sorts. Thanks to a reader for sending this link:

The restaurant’s management team, which has been running the location for 6 years, was dismissed and their last day was Thursday. For the time being, Crème Café and current chef, Orlando Hitzig, will continue normal operations, though there may be changes on the horizon. “The chef is going to stay on for now,” Alewa says, “We might make a change and go back to our original style of menu. Though it will be very similar.”

Which, of course, is a far cry from shuttering its doors.

Thanks to a reader for the heads up. Creme’s Web site confirms:

“When we opened Creme Cafe almost 6 years ago, we had no idea the lasting impact it would have on our lives. We’ve made great friends, started lifelong relationships – and above all, created a restaurant where everyone was truly welcome – and able to call it their own.

Unfortunately, for Creme, the time has come that we must close… Our staff – both past and present – have accomplished every goal we set when we opened Creme. We are proud of the place we forged in our community as a locally owned, independent business where friends and family came together to share a meal. To all the regulars, friends, guests who came in the front door and to all the staff, purveyors and vendors who came in the back door, THANK YOU!!!!.”

We spoke about their brunch back in May ’08. Will you miss them?
