‘We just can’t catch a break’: A perfect storm at South Florida restaurants as omicron surges
A stampede of hungry holiday diners, a raging omicron variant and fewer staff to contain the tide. A perfect storm is mounting at South Florida restaurants at the most critical time on the calendar. For Angelo Abbenante, owner of Lynora’s Italian restaurant in Boca Raton, Christmas weekend brought a recipe for holiday chaos. Only four servers showed up to work the booked-solid dining room. A party of 18 canceled last-minute at his Jupiter location.
Calypso Restaurant, a longtime Caribbean haven in Pompano Beach, sold to new owners
The longtime owners of Calypso Restaurant, the Caribbean haven for fresh Bahamian conch, peppery jerk wings, peel-and-eat shrimp and cutters, have sold their business after 32 years.
Chuck and Lora Ternosky tell the Sun Sentinel that they’ve sold the neighborhood café and raw bar at 460 S. Cypress Road to the owners of South Florida-based Mad Hospitality Group. Ternosky says Mad’s two owners, Matt and Dominick, officially took over the restaurant Monday, but he declined to provide last names.
