We’ve known for weeks that James, Jim and Kristina Burke’s beloved Bella Vista spot that’s been steadily racking up accolades from local and national media since it opened five years ago, was soon calling it quits. We just didn’t realize that the end was coming so soon. Via the restaurant’s Facebook page, the Burkes announced that this Saturday, May 7, will be their last in operation, which means there’s only three days left to get in there and bid the place farewell. What’s strange is, when the imminent closing was first announced, the Burkes said their lease was up in June. So why’s the Insider saying that the two “have found a buyer.” You’re guess is as good as ours. What we’d like to know is, what will become of all that Saison de James the restaurant commissioned Baltimore’s Stillwater Ales to produce? [Insider]
