I heard that the Twenty21 closing was temporary, for some much needed remodeling. Any truth to that? It’s never been very impressive, but it always seems to be packed at lunch.

Maybe you should have a section next to “openings” called “closings” just to make sure no one plans their night around a restuarant that is not even open anymore

There has been a ton of openings in the past year and inflationary food prices. More competition and higher costs will always mean closures. The good news is that most of these places weren’t very good and, personally, I won’t be missing any of them except for maybe Azure.

Twenty21 has a lovely outside dining area. The inside is unimpressive, as is the food.
