I suspect Chef Jorge Almaraz is no longer there. that guy is good. one of the best Lobster bisque's I've ever had.

Got a recording that states they are re-opening on Nov 12 as 'El Veneno Restaurant' (or something close to that). As to the OP's mention of 'Nayarit', it may be a reference to the Mexican state with that name. So they may be advertising their seafood is prepared in the style of Nayarit.

Chef Jorge, however, will no longer be there. Hopefully he will be somewhere bigger and better soon, more in line with his style and fantastic food and presentation.
