Encounter is closed!
 

Umm, 1,000 pound chunks of stucco falling from the arches! Closed for at least 6 months. Bad news.

Not quite the PR they were looking for 2 weeks before the new Airbus lands.

That's some seriously bad mojo

Damn! That's pretty sad, but I'm glad no one was hurt.

You know what this says to me?...............





















































.......... We have a swanking with the re-open!!

Weird. I had lunch there not too long ago just before I flew off to Hawaii and took a Helicopter tour....

Awww, when I read the thread title ... I thought it was closed permanently. Too bad.


I love the decor ... but the overpriced food is getting worse and worse ... so bad, in fact, that I've made a mental note never to go there again (or, if I must 'cause folks just have to .... to stick with liquid refreshment only).


I hope they fix it up, and reopen .... under new management.




(Hey, if it's such a fixer-upper .... it might not be a bad spot for the Lot Commune. Maybe they'd be willing to do a deal. Very groovy decor, interesting views, jetsetter jumping off point to swank spots of the world!)

Do you know I have NEVER eaten there? I really must put the re-open swanking on my calendar.

iSm speaks the truth in terms of quality. Though I haven't gone in a couple of years, each time it seems more expensive and less delicious. Even the drinks have moved from decent to just so-so.

However, I'd still like to go. I'm all for second-chances. With a re-vamp, they probably know this is a good time for them to strengthen their image and is a good chance for them to get new people and bring back those who haven't bothered - perhaps a renewal of their menu and various drinks?

They have food there?

Honestly, I've never considered going there for a good meal, as everything I've ever eaten there is eclipsed by the location, design and soundtrack.

I'm all for a re-opening swanking.

The last time I ate there (way back when), I loved the Duck Salad, hadn't heard the food had gone down hill. But then again, don't know many who have eaten there. I'm for a Swank meet-up, and keep my fingers crossed they still serve the Duck Salad!
