End of a Cincinnati Era - Maisonette closes

[C_Ruark]

Does anyone know the details of the Maisonette's property auction. Is it public? If so, I am going to send my mother to attend (I live in DC; she loved the place).

Mr. Comisar has always been generous to us when we dine. I hope he has another opportunity to serve food to the Cincy community. Though the move to Kenwood to an outsider seems like it would have been a strange one anyway.

Thanks!

Funny you should ask. From today's paper:

Auction Story

The auction is also going to be webcast. You can bid from your desk or easy chair in DC.

I have no prediction for the next step in Nat Comisar's career. A former managing partner of the Maisonette, Michael E. Comisar, is the general manager of a local private business club, the Metropolitan Club.

In addition to the auction of property, the Maisonette will also be auctioning off the conents of its wine cellar. Article here.

Edited to add: Here's a link to a .pdf file of the auction brochure. Many individual art and equipment items are listed. Contents of the wine collection are not.

Article in today's Enquirer about a public viewing for the upcoming auction: clickety.

The tables are set, the soft lights glow and the kitchen is immaculate. But don't expect to order the lobster bisque. The Maisonette will be open to the public one last time today - for a preview of the two-day auction of its contents.
