If you are a regular reader of this blog, you might recall two reviews over the past year (1,2) of La Vigne French Bistro & Wine Bar. Both Pere and I really wanted to like the place but just couldn't do it. The issues and negative experiences with the restaurant seemed to grow over time.

Well, it looks like all of their problems finally caught up with them as the restaurant has finally closed. While I hate to see locally owned and operated restaurants go I don't feel that way about La Vigne. We're better off without them.

I'm a little late with this post, but it looks like Udupi Cafe has once again ran afoul of the Maricopa County Health Inspectors. This is the second time in about a year (last time they had 13 violations) that Udupi has had problems. This time, they racked up 8 new health violations, resulting in the county filing papers to revoke their license to operate.

It's a real shame because the food at Udupi was really good. I just don't understand why they find it so hard to keep the place clean and practice good restaurant sanitation. There are plenty of other small restaurant operators that don't seem to have the problems Udupi does.
