Tangerine calls it quits

We've been hearing whispers about this for awhile, but now it looks like it's finally gone down: Tonight is the last night for Stephen Starr's Tangerine (232 Market St.). According to our source, the Starr Restaurant Organization plans to hold on to the space for catering and banquet purposes, with plans of reconceptualizing and reopening it as something new in the coming year. Staffers will be offered jobs elsewhere within the Starrship Enterprise.
The Mediterranean restaurant/lounge first opened in the winter of 1999. From former CP critic Maxine Keyser's Feb. 2000 review:
Despite all the opulent drapings, and the African wail of the music, there is no whiff of the desert here. When the black-garbed waiter describes the meal, you realize you�re in a sophisticated urban venue, not Algiers (the most dangerous city in the world) � more likely Paris. As in Starr�s other places � Buddakan, the Continental, The Blue Angel � you are just an actor in a carefully scripted evening. Settle back among the stylish crowd and give yourself up to Moroccan food for neophytes.
