x/o to get exed-out?

Trendy's not been so good for restaurants lately. Two weeks ago, tricked-out tapas spot Del Toro in Wicker Park closed not quite a year and a half after opening . The reason? Business was good, say owners, but just not quite good enough. The solution: Close. Reconcept. Reopen. (Sort of like what they did with the Mod space that last occupied the space). No word on when the new spot will open. Now we hear  Boystown's X/O Chicago is going to have a similar fate. Owner Mark Liberson is being vague about the details, but he did confirm to the Extrovert that he's planning to close this spring and reopen with a new look and new name. No word on the menu, but here's one juicy bit of gossip: Interior designer Nancy Warren will be working on the reformulated space. Liberson also hints that an entirely new spot is also in the offing.
