Taverna Blu (Greek Restaurant at the Irvine Spectrum) is closed. Notice on the building was a petition for ownership change so maybe someone else assumed the lease?

Really? It didn't open that long ago. An ownership change could just mean that the owner is changing...the restaurant may still be around.
It got decent reviews on Yelp: http://www.yelp.com/biz/taverna-blu-irvine
It's definitely closed. Location is deleted off their website.
I'd agree with this. People generally go there for the sports and the alcohol. Food is a distant third. I would say though that BJ's seems like a much better alternative than BWW.
It really made no sense of being there. Curious what they do with the place...maybe an Asian style market?
it would probably take out Ralphs if that happend.
We lived at Woodbury when that Ralph's opened and I remember going there and it being empty. They would put their deli food on sale at night because there was no traffic. It's still somewhat of a mess with mesh-mash signage, random Asian products, and a deli that is way way too big.
Ralphs recently announced three LA area store closings (One in OC off La Paz) and isn't closing this one. I think with the new housing opening up its traffic should be on the upswing.
I think the Trader Joe's in the same location kills business. We go to the Pavilion at OH and like it there much better. That OH shopping center is going to be packed once OH builds out.
lol.. one cashier should make the whole staff suffer?
I enjoy thinking of the possibilities.. then get sad when they open up something worthless.. like how they opened up Stein Mart at the marketplace.
