The owners are just retiring. So unless someone steps forward to buy it, I guess we'll say goodbye.<br /><br />I'm so sorry to hear about your favorite local restaurant.Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-50766358406432319682015-10-30T10:20:55.013-04:002015-10-30T10:20:55.013-04:00Monti's in Tempe was a historic landmark and t...Monti's in Tempe was a historic landmark and the first restaurant in Tempe. They made the best prime rib and a delicious homemade herb bread. Another restaurant that is a landmark for hubby and I is still around at Lake Tahoe.

No signs of them closing (I hope) but if they do, I have their cookbook.<br /><br />The place I really miss is The Olive Garden. Sigh. There was a group of us who all celebrated our birthdays there so we'd all get together about once a month for a girls night out. The place was always packed so I have no idea why they closed.

The partner, the staff, the clientele... The ripple effect of one addiction messing up an entire circle of people, but then the plus side of the ripple effect is the increased business at other places and a new opportunity for the other partner/partners.<br /><br />Story fodder. <br /><br />But I still my restaurant.
