EaterWire: Kaleo Cafe Closing, Masa's Extends Deal

THE SUNSET—After nearly a decade, Irving Street's finest Hawaiian cafe/karaoke bar will call it quits this week. From the restaurant: "We regret to inform you that Kaleo Cafe will be closing its doors April 30 (Thursday). We are sad to be closing the cafe and appreciate all of your support these past 9 years. The specifics?it’s too expensive to keep a small business like ours open and we’ve drained our resources." [EaterWire]

NOB HILL—On the other end of the dining spectrum: remember when Masa's rolled out its recession special—the three-course option—to provide a more accessible option to Gregory Short's $105 six-course and $155 nine-course menus? Well, instead of just doing the special on weekdays before 6:30, Masa's is now offering the $55 tres option throughout service everyday. [EaterWire]
