It's a sad week for restaurant news, with the closures of two popular spots and another damaged by fire.

Numerous tipsters have asked why Souvla has been closed for nearly four months. Here's what we've learned.

The Divisadero location is temporarily closed, and owners say they're determining their next steps "day by day."

SF bars need to sell to-go cocktails to stay afloat, but they're required to serve them with "bona fide" meals. For bars without kitchens, that's a challenge.

The seafood-focused restaurant, which turns 15 this month, is moving in a different direction post-pandemic.

The Alamo Square Deli is relaunching under the name Lucinda's, with the goal of offering park-friendly sandwiches and prepared foods.

Steak and tacos are on the menu this weekend, with pizza on the way.

It also appears that Divisadero Street will be getting a new bakery.

Plus, a new cocktail bar specializing in New England-style seafood has debuted on Polk Street.

An art-themed bar on the Divisadero Corridor celebrates 15 years with events, a to-go eatery plans to soon open its 10th San Francisco location, and and a Westfield Mall-based restaurant shutters.

The new shop specializes in organic, handmade bubble tea drinks, including a novelty drink made with cake batter.

Fans of apple fritters and giant glazed doughnuts, rejoice: the Polk Street favorite is about to debut its second location.

The restaurant will close on September 15.
