Cavallo Cuts Bait at Catch 52
Posted by Warren Rojas / Wednesday, August 10th, 2011
The Vintage Restaurant Group–the trade name of restaurateur Anthony Cavallo’s burgeoning hospitality empire–has officially pulled the plug on their seafood-centric experiment, Catch 52.
“We have discovered over the past few months that the seafood desired by our community was just as easily executed at Vintage 51, our ‘sister’ restaurant, located right next door,” V51 general manager Ty Allison said of the recent consolidation. According to Allison, V51 has already absorbed C52′s most popular menu items–beer battered fish and chips, calamari, fish tacos, snow crab legs–with more (oysters on the half shell) soon to follow.
“We will be relinquishing the lease,” Allison said of C52′s now-twice abandoned pad (if memory serves, a chain Italian joint failed there previously).
