Encuentro of Oakland Has Closed!

What bad news!  Our family's favorite restaurant--a vegan-vegetarian one--has closed!

Kathy suggested it for her birthday dinner and then found out it was no longer there.

Here are some photos from my sister Suzy's birthday last December, the last time we were there.

Here's how the owners said goodbye:

Partners Linda Braz and Lacey Sher released the following statement on Encuentro’s website:

It is with a heavy heart that we are saying goodbye. The rising costs of doing business in an economy that is fraught with uncertainty has become overwhelmingly difficult.

We love you and will miss you terribly but we have to think with our heads and not with our hearts.

Please sign up for our mailing list if you are not on it already - you never know what may 'pop-up' at our space.

Thank you all for your 7+ years of love and support. It has meant more to us then you realize and has kept us going in spite of adversity.

With respect and love to all our customers, employees, friends and family.
