Why Is Delmar Bistro Closing?

Owner Cindy Leffler told News 10 ABC,

We just can’t survive the aftermath of the pandemic. We incurred debt trying to stay afloat through it and I just want to cut my losses. It doesn’t look like things will improve anytime soon. All of the mom-and-pop businesses are hanging on by a thread. It’s a shame.

Delmar Bistro Will Be Open Until The End of the Month

The last day Delmar Bistro will be open is April 29th. Then after eight years, they will close for good. Delmar Bistro is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am until 9 pm.
