Au revoir, Le Francais?
A phone message at the fabled Le Francais in Wheeling, at one point considered by some to be the best restaurant in the country, says that restaurant has "temporarily suspended service" -- with no other details.
Hmm.
I left a message yesterday seeking further details, but owner Mike Moran has not yet responded. Chef Roland Liccioni hasn't returned calls left for him at Le Lan, where he is also a partner. We do hope it's only temporary -- things were seemingly on the upswing after Liccioni returned in 2005 (he left after his first run from 1988 to 1999, being selected by founder Jean Banchet). But with increased competition for dining dollars in the 'burbs, some wonder if there be another act for this culinary institution.
