Closed, as of last night.
Gone for good. Brian Caswell said it never made enough money and he wants to focus on Reef.
I just know that it was always busy and, on “Montrose Monday” - when locals got a 50% discount on the food - it was packed. On Monday, the wait was 60-90 minutes and those waiting were drinking up a storm at the bar. But they changed the deal to a 30% discount only on certain food items, and it was never anywhere near as busy again on any night.
I have no idea of the background or the finances, but the anecdotal evidence of a sharp decline in patronage after the change to the Monday deal was clear and real. Sad to see the place go. I wonder what it will become now.

Caswell sounds like a mess. Meanwhile the former staff is picketing out front demanding owed wages.
I always liked that place. Glad I grabbed lunch there a few weeks back.

I really like El Real, probably eaten there at least 40 times. I don’t think I ever went on a Monday, but the times I went, usually the weekend, it was empty. Considering that location and how much space it was, I figured this was happening at some point. RIP
