Now for the bad news, if any of you wanted to come into the restaurant to try all of the delicious and amazing food that I have talked about for years you all had better get down here and fast. Yesterday we were all blindsided when we were told that we would be closing our doors forever. Next Saturday, January 15th will be our last day of service. I still can't believe it or even wrap my brain around this!!
Even in this economy our amazing restaurant can't survive. Ever since Alex opened its doors 5 years ago we have won every top award, Forbes' 5 star, AAA's 5 diamond, Michelin 2 star, and Wine Spectators Grand Award (the only restaurant to win in Las Vegas and one of 4 in the US). But even all of our awards can't save us from closing.
For 3 years I have called Alex home and for 3 years I have felt like I was surrounded by greatness and extraordinary talent. Such talent that at times I have felt like someone that snuck in the back door, and pretended like I belonged. But that only made me want to work harder and learn more. I'm not going to lie at time it's been rough, really rough but I wouldn't change this experience for anything. I will always look back on my time here at Alex with such fondness and will always feel like I was apart of something truly special.
