A sign says vacation, Facebook says construction, but the shops have been dark for over a month

The lights have been out for over a month at the shops that sell the wee little cupcakes and French macaroons, and it's unclear when, if ever, they will return. The window display at the St. Paul location is starting to show some age, and the sign on the door proclaims that they're on "vacation" until March 1 -- nearly a month ago. The website and Facebook pages claim that the stores are "closed for construction." Hopes for a return are starting to diminish

Slip slider-ing away into the night: Primebar bids an abrupt farewell

Around 11:00 p.m. on Sunday night, word started getting around that Primebar in Calhoun Square was abruptly closing its doors for good. The chain, which is owned by Restaurants America, opened its Minneapolis outpost in the ill-fated space at the corner of Hennepin and Lake last summer. After a false start in June, business seemed to be humming along just fine, though reviews were less than stellar. 

The Hot Dish received the following tip from a patron of the restaurant: "At about 9:00 p.m. they found out they were getting evicted so they told us all to pay our tabs and leave."

The chic bar at Kinsen Noodles in Uptown will dim its lights for the last time tonight

After a year and a half in business, the affordable but oft-overlooked Kinsen Noodles and Bar in Uptown announced it will be closing its doors tomorrow, February 27. 

The pan-Asian ramen house received mixed critical reviews but made several attempts to bring in new staff and rev up its offerings. Over time Kinsen managed to find an audience with vegan and vegetarian diners.

Gone, but hopefully not forever
The signs were posted near the cash register and in the window informing patrons, friends and neighbors that this vegetarian-friendly fusion restaurant was going out of business. Luckily, for their daal devotees, there is a silver lining of hope on the horizon.
