Crave loses lease

Slog has the scoop and owner Robin pops into the comments to add some color:

Thank you all for your support over the past 5 years. 3 months ago when CHAC was kicked out we had been assured our longevity was secure. This week we were informed that we are no longer welcome and have one month to move. We only want to make good food and satisfy the customer. Unfortunately we have not been perfect, however we have tried our best to please you. If you left angry I am sorry for that, however, next time you find yourself unhappy in a restuarant try saying so. I'll bet your server will offer up a different meal or at least a monetary compensation. Silnce does not solve problems, but then neither does bitching after the math on line! Here is to change as I am embracing it as an opportunity for growth.

Crave now joins my "Places everybody else went to but I never ate there" list along with Fork/Coco La Tida, Red Line Pizza, Mongolian Grill and Kurrent. Oh, wait, Kurrent is still open. Different list.

Crave did provide some much-appreciated snacks for the Capitol Hill Community Council election night, however, and seemed to find a way to help lots of other community efforts on the Hill. So, can't judge their brunch but can judge their community spirit -- hopefully they find a new home on the Hill.

UPDATE: Central District makes play to recruit Crave
