Chef Michael Warring and his wife and co-owner, Ali Gulczynski, plan to close the dining room at their namesake restaurant in Hiddenbrooke Plaza, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. The restaurant opened in June 2012.
The restaurant is located in Hiddenbrooke Plaza, in Vallejo's Hiddenbrooke neighborhood.
Tucked into a strip mall in Hiddenbrooke, the restaurant has drawn Bay Area diners willing to make the drive.
A Vallejo Restaurant Since 2012
Warring and Gulczynski opened the restaurant in June 2012.
Hiddenbrooke's Place in Vallejo's Growth
A City of Vallejo planning document places Hiddenbrooke among the suburban neighborhoods included in the city's 20th-century expansion, which brought new homes, retail centers and employment uses. The document describes that broader mix of development but does not specify what services the Hiddenbrooke Plaza commercial area was intended to provide.
The restaurant's menu has changed seasonally, as reported by San Francisco Chronicle.
What Comes Next
The restaurant's next chapter remains unclear.
Another Vallejo Restaurant Closure
The Times-Herald reported on Nov. 20, 2023, that Better Chew Kitchen had temporarily stopped operating about six months after opening.
The report describes a planned dining-room closure; it does not say the restaurant has permanently shut down.
