Their number's up
When The Berghoff announced it was closing in 2006 after a mere 107 years, lines of folks hungry for a final schnitzel snaked around the block. The historic German restaurant's space was reconfigured for private parties, while 17 West at the Berghoff (and Berghoff Café downstairs), as it was re-named, would continue to accommodate diners with some of the traditional dishes of its predecessor, as well as more contemporary fare.
Well, as of March 7, the restaurant is now called simply Berghoff (note the missing "the" in addition to the 17 West). The change is a result of owner Carlyn Berghoff squeezing her catering and restaurant businesses under one umbrella name, Berghoff Catering & Restaurant Group. She says two names were too confusing for customers -- not to mention a real mouthful for staff answering the phone. But the menu and everything else is staying the same.
