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

Not Afraid · 03-09-2007, 12:07 AM

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!!

Moonliner · 03-09-2007, 07:20 AM

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

innerSpaceman · 03-09-2007, 08:49 AM

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.

blueerica · 03-09-2007, 11:44 AM

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!
