Rim Tapas closing
Tomorrow will be the last day for Rim Tapas and Wine Bar at 219-A S. Elm St.
The restaurant has been struggling for months. After the departure of chef and owner Stephen Schneider earlier this year, the restaurant tried to revitalize itself with the help of chef and operating partner Brad Semon of The Painted Plate.
"We had a lot of fun at rim. We had a lot of great food," says Semon. "We improved volume in the past months."
But the transition came on the heals of the economic bust.
"We weren't able to ever really reach our expectations with the number of people coming downtown, especially with late night food," adds Semon.
Semon says he and operating partner Catherine Chauvin are putting the restaurant up for sale. He's convinced the spot can do well, but says he's given it what he can. His focus remains on his catering.
The restaurant will be open for dinner tomorrow before closing the doors.
