As many of our friends know, we used to go to Tru Restaurant & Lounge just up the street at least once a week. We raved about it to our friends and took guests there whenever possible.
It appears to be closing. The lights are rarely on, and a local auctioneer is advertising that the facilities are on the auction block.
I just walked up there and asked someone who was cleaning up the kitchen. Indeed, Tru is closed and going out of business.
We don't know what happened at Tru, but the more recent reviews at TripAdvisor, Restaurantica, and Google speak volumes. We had hoped things would turn around, but we were beginning to have similar experiences ourselves and had stopped going there. Nevertheless, we had such good memories of Tru and held out hope. I couldn't bring myself to post bad reviews (or to correct/update) my extremely positive reviews from the past.
We feel sad about the closing; we feel a sense of loss. It was once a wonderful institution. But we also feel a sense of relief; it couldn't possibly survive the way things were going.
