Aimee Olexy on Talula's Garden chef's departure

Tuesday, we brought you the news that Michael Santoro (who we really, really liked!) had left the enchanted Talula’s Garden (210 W. Washington Square) for a life devoid of gurgling fountains, leafy plum trees and unicorn-milk chevre. Partner Aimee Olexy isn’t saying whether the Santoro’s beef with menu development had anything to do with Craig LaBan's lukewarm two-bell review (as many suspect), but she does offer this: "Mike and I just spent a ton of time together, so it is hard. I am excited, though. The team here is amazing, and we are ready and want to go at it better than ever." A new executive chef has not been named.
