Lame Duck Report: Yoffi Releases Closing Schedule

The Marina: About a month ago, we revealed that the Mamacita/Umami crew of Sam Josi, Nate Valentine and company would be turning Bistro Yoffi into a gastropub. Now, dates have been set for the Chestnut Street restaurant's closing schedule, and it looks like the shutter is going be drawn out for some time (maybe painfully, maybe not). Dinner service will end next week (August 27th), but then the restaurant will convert to a bar-only operation until closing for good in mid-September. So, you Marina bar-happy folks get a month's worth of a lame duck restaurant. Try not to make eye contact; it's just awkward.
