We were waiting for a really special occassion (and a winning lottery ticket) to try La Reve downtown in The Exchange Building, and now we hear it's closing! It's not because there aren't enough folks with a few hundred or more to splurge on dinner( It's booked way in advance always), it's because Owner and Chef Andrew Weissman has expanded his culinary empire north of 1604 and at The Pearl Brewery, so he's spread thin. It does seem odd, though, to close the flagship. La Reve was voted one of the six greatest American restaurants and one time Best in Texas by critics. It's about as strange as, let's say, GM getting rid of Cadillac. But these are strange days indeed.
