Yesterday’s tomorrow is today…. right?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

It’s Peyton Place in Sag Harbor these days as the questions abound…. Is Doppio history or on hiatus. \u00a0 Yesterday, state officials along with a few men in blue (you never know when some employee might want to sneak off with salt and pepper shakers) came in and locked the restaurant down and threw up a “SEIZED” sign! \u00a0 Well it didn’t take long but a few hours later one of the owners or employees was out there with a sign and free lemonade promising it will be “back to business as normal.” \u00a0 Well it’s now 11:30 am<\/b> and Hamptons Chatter was late to go to press today and the doors are all still locked and there isn’t an employee in site. There is also no lemonade today but did you really think someone could serve free drinks in Sag Harbor without getting into trouble?<\/p>\n

Rumors about Doppio’s demise have been floating around since this winter. \u00a0 \u00a0After a promising start and lots of fanfare last year bad attitudes and mediocre food turned the eatery into a ghost town by Labor Day. \u00a0 This year I have to say the food has improved and the staff is a heck of a lot friendlier. \u00a0 \u00a0Everyone should get a second chance and I’m hoping they make it work. \u00a0 \u00a0I’ll keep you updated on the progress and update here as needed. \u00a0 \u00a0It would be fun to set up a webcam, right?<\/p>\n

UPDATE 2:38pm: \u00a0It’s still closed, still dark and Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.<\/b>
\nUPDATE 4:19pm: \u00a0The day glow orange sign is gone and they’re getting ready to reopen. \u00a0A stirring saga is over.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
