Re: Criolla's

My understanding is that in fact Criolla's as we've known it is closed for good. I was told that it was to reopen as a Concierge service place where Johnny and his Chef would do home chef parties, keep on doing catering and Real estate work out of the old restaurant as well. Is that true, Johnny ?

What about gift certificates that haven't been used yet?

Re: Criolla's

Waiters were told a few days ago they were no longer needed.
One of them is a friend, his wife is 6 months pregnant and he has no more work

That is unfortunate. Even though it's slow I'm sure a waiter from Criolla's can get another good wait job. Tell him that the people at SoWal.com will help him find a new job, and will help in other ways if needed.

Re: Criolla's

Friends,

Rest assured gift certificates are always honored with our catering / private chef program now and after our re-opening, and of course if any one would prefer reimbursement just email me or call us at the restaurant.

All the best,

Johnny

Re: Criolla's

Good Luck Johnny. You have done an amazing job since 88 I believe.
Change is hard for us to accept...
You helped a lot of young chefs become great chefs. When I worked there through college - I had a lot of pride in my job. The food was incredible and the staff - all wonderful people many are still my close friends. A new chapter begins.

Re: Criolla's

Bottom line: Criolla's was once one of the finest restaurants in the country with a creative menu, an unparalleled wine list, prompt and friendly service.............all that unfortunately disappeared and so did the restaurant clientele when less attention was given to its running. It is terrible waste given Johnny's immense talent !
