Parkdale bid farewell to one of its more popular restaurants in the neighbourhood last week.
The Commodore, owned by Chef Jon Vettraino and a few silent investors, recently announced their abrupt closing on social media. In the message, the team states that the decision was very difficult and was “accelerated by some personal circumstances”.
And those silent investors ultimately had the last say in the future of the restaurant. In an email shared on Twitter, The Commodore’s General Manager Jason Romanoff tells reservation-holding patrons that the official closure is due to the investment team backing out.
We are definitely sad to see the restaurant and their pretty plates go. We profiled The Commodore back when they first opened in 2015 and had high hopes for the seafood-centric eatery. Parkdale has become a hub for destination-worthy restaurants and it’s safe to say that The Commodore was amongst those bringing in the waves of food enthusiasts and scenesters.
