Thistles closed, and is currently in a "Soft Opening" of an Italian place. (It is decent, but not a destination, and at their price point, they're not going to last long.) The Thistles location would be better - it is a fantastic space with a great patio. Every restaurant that has been in there has lacked in food consistency. I'd be THRILLED if they opened something in the Talula's space. It is begging for something better - and Robbinsdale deserves it! Are you talking about the former Talula’s space?

I do know that on busy weekend nights he was the guy behind the line putting out outstanding food while the other Chefs waited tables.

The missus and I were big fans of the joint prior to the change. The new summer menu looks pretty tasty, I might add. We will still be eating at Victory 44. I will buy that!

The food was AMAZING! Chef Erick has written the menu for the restaurant since it opened so I don't think it will be a loss with the other cooks leaving.
