Historic Berghoff to close

I read with great sadness thatThe Berghoff restaurant in Chicago will close Feb. 28.

I only visited the restaurant twice, both during visits with my sister, Teresa, who lives in the Chicago area. I enjoyed the fine German food and the tasty beer The Berghoff was noted for.

Under the Berghoff family's plan, Artistic Events by Carlyn Berghoff Catering Inc. will take over the building this winter. She will rename the bar 17 West at The Berghoff and reopen the adjoining cafe but reserve the dining room -- cloaked in rich oak and graced with pictures of old Chicago -- for private, catered events.

It is a sad thing for the city of Chicago.

Hurts like a kick in the gut!! Been to the stand-up bar for lunch many a-times... and of course to their Oktoberfest every fall...really really sad.
