By way of my mother:
Vincent’s on the Lake, which took over the old Carlos and Charlie’s spot…on the lake.
They blame “Economic conditions and low water levels“. Mom and I ate there about six weeks ago, and I think their real problem was: the food was just not good. It really felt more like a bar that had a nice view of the lake, and the food wasn’t even a second thought.
(Mom gave it six weeks when we ate there, and she was pretty much right on target.)
Also closed: Crema, in South Austin. Another place we had breakfast at: Mom liked to go there when she was in the neighborhood, and they did serve good food. But it was a bit off the beaten path for us. In this case, the closure is being blamed on “the rent is too damn high” and “the lease is too damn long”.
