Bottega Louie is still going strong after almost two years, so hopefully they will follow suit.
The space on 7th in the Roosevelt, is that the (old) proposed Citizen Smith place? The decor in the rendering certainly has the Citizen Smith feel, but the Hollywood location closed up a couple of weeks ago after the owners went through a bitter divorce. I wonder if this is the same space or something new.

I went too. I thought the food was good, but the rest of my family didn't. I guess I ordered the right thing. It was crazy packed, almost to Bottega Louie levels, which I would assume is a good thing. I didn't mind the paintings on the wall not matching the restaurant flavor, because they were original 1930's era paintings, and it would have been a shame to get rid of them. Oh, and the place is extremely, very loud. I didn't mind it, but my (apparently picky) family did.
