A huge restaurant at Rincon Center that we didn’t even realize was still there is closing, as the Scoop reports. The Cosmopolitan Café (121 Spear Street), later rebranded as The Cosmopolitan, opened over a decade ago in a 7,300-square-foot space, and even Michael Bauer in his 2000 review asked “Will diners find it?” The space had been thought cursed after three previous restaurants were short-lived, including Larry Mindel’s Etrusca, but the Cosmopolitan managed to survive. Its chef, Steven Levine, and the management team is relocating to Petaluma to open Social Club. Meanwhile, anyone who’s in the market for an enormous turnkey space near the FiDi seek out the landlords. [Scoop]
