Lalot Closed?

[mickeyj]

I drove past Lalot this morning and it appears to be closed up. The windows are covered up with newspapers.

Does anyone know if it's closed for good?

The closing of Lalot is a sad, sad affair. The girl and I introduced many a friend to Lalot, many of whom introduced others. Never a bad word about the food or service. If that location was just around the corner, they would have had to beat them away with bats.

Let's hope they return in the future.

Their food was delicious. And inventive. Real good.

BUT; their portions were laughably small.

My friends called in "LaLess"...

I never really had an issue with the portion size.....but then again, I tended to go over board and order half the menu anyway. The portions may have been small, but the flavour was definitely never skimpy.

I agree with DowntownJoe. It was a gem of a place. My all time favourite ever since a friend took me there, and I recommended it to everybody I knew. And the fact that it was open on Sunday evenings was just perfect. The chef's brother has a place in Seattle called Monsoon which is well regarded, and this brother was invited to cook at the James Beard Foundation - you can dig up the menu for the event on the web, and some of the dishes he served were actually the same as Lolot! The crab spring rolls.... I can still taste them.
Story is that the brothet at Lalot didn't want to cook any more.

I know they've been trying to sell the place for a few months now and met the owners of the new place the other day. I don't know if they were moving though.

We were planning on going last weekend. Called to make reservation and number was disconnected. Did a search here and found last day was May 13th. Very sad day, as that was a true gem of a place. I will miss the drunken chicken very much!
