Django closing

[Mano]

I just learned that Django has closed due to the poor economy and apparently because construction in the area kept people away. It was a great restaurant under both owners. Over the years I dined there 15 or more times and my experiences ranged from the good to the sublime.

This is a shame. Ross is a talented chef and I had hoped that the place would continue to do well. What more proof do we need that the economy is slumping?

Best of luck to the staff, both front and back of the house, in finding new employment. This is a great big bummer.

That truly is a shame. I feel that Django, under Bryan Sikora, brought Philadelphia into the forefront of the restaurant scene. It was surely not the first BYOB in Philly but one of the first to really take things to the upper echelon's of dining. I returned to dine there after Bryan left only to find that the food was indeed still excellent and that Django was still at the top of the restaurant scene, BYOB or otherwise, in Philly. I liked everything about that place.
