Dear Friends:

This is an incredible difficult message for me to write as I inform all of you of my decision to closed Tribute’s after almost 7 years of operation.  With a global economic crisis and our landlord’s refusal to reduce rent,
we have no choice but to stop operating from our present location.  Since mid-October there isn’t
anything we could do to maintain, making a business out of either Tribute, or Bricolage for that
matter.  That is not to say, however, we will disappear altogether.  In the next months, we shall
work diligently to regroup and make a comeback, with better food, better environment and
more interesting location. 

From the bottom of my heart I would like to say a word of thanks to all of you.  Without your
support we could never have gotten as far as we have and to be able to share a vision
through good food and even better company.  I can only promise that we will continually
to grow with newer foods & better resolve, so to become a cuisine of both choice &
sustainability.   There were many things I wanted to achieve with Tribute cuisine
but had not the time to fully develop these ideas. Now we have time, allow us
to forge forward and become what it is we believe.

At the same time, let us not forget to eat well and believe all is possible in
this world; and let us all get beyond the limits of human endeavor so we
can make this world a better place.  Until we meet again, I bid you all,

Warmest regards,

Frank
