Stollenwerks speak on Little Fish closure

POSTED: Wednesday, April 7, 2010, 7:30 PM
Filed Under: Closings

Mike Stollenwerk, owner of acclaimed/teeny BYO Little Fish and the larger, newer fish, decided to pull the plug on the former restaurant this past weekend due to concerns over the building's condition. The chef, along with wife Marilyn, has released a statement about the decision via e-mail:

"To all of our loyal customers who made Little Fish what it was, we would like to thank you. Without all of you, Little Fish would have never been so successful. As you may have noticed, the condition of the building in which we lease space has been rapidly deteriorating. After many months of attempting to get the building repaired, we have become increasingly worried about the safety of our establishment for our customers and employees. Because we can no longer safely operate out of our 6th and Catherine location, we have decided to close Little Fish."

Any Little Fish gift certificates will be redeemable at fish, at 1708 Lombard. We'll keep you posted on a potential new home for Stollenwerk's BYO.
