Tutti Matti in Karasukgil has closed. It’s quite sad, but I guess it was inevitable. The food there wasn’t that great and the wine menu was over priced. It didn’t help that they had 3 floors: a basement dance club, a cafe on the main floor, and a wine lounge on the top. Talk about your identity crisis!

It was WAY TOO BIBIMBAP!

They should have focused on one concept and done it well.

Regardless, the guys who ran it were pretty cool and I hope they will succeed in their next venture.
