wow that was quick. I figured that would be the result of the buyout but didn’t think it would be this quick !

Where does it fall under in terms of price? Is it like prime bistro or like graze type?

apparently still has same chef, Jose Soto, supposedly all is staying the same, which is great news, food and bartender are fantastic here. Strong recommendations for the meat pizza here, by far the best iv ever had, lamb riblets and cauliflower with toasted quino are very good as well. Recommend the Mexican firering squad on the cocktail side, but really all are very good

Wanted to go to 550 tonight but they're closed for the week. Will be open again next week (as per the person who answered the phone).

3 years is alot of years for a prime space to be empty.

Any reports from Mur? New menu looks incredible https://murcuisine.com/menu

Looking for somewhere where I'll have space without other people too close to me, and ideally a table where we can sit on 2 sides next to each other (not across from each other)
