Adios to Apamate?

A tipster wrote us last night that Apamate, chef Ane Ormaechea's tapas joint, has closed up shop. Swung by the spot this morning to find that the tables and chairs have been cleared out of the dining room; phone is disconnected. We've contacted Ormaechea and will update here with any info we hear. UPDATE: "Very proud of my work there," says Ormaechea in an email to Meal Ticket. "It was an amazing spot and an immense learning experience for me." The chef says she's got something new in the works but isn't ready to talk about it just yet.

This was one of our favorites.  I hope she comes back soon with something equally great.
