Chez Papa may be suffering from economic malaise like many other organizations. I recently heard they handed their Mint Plaza establishment back to the chef there. I don't know what kind of transaction was involved.The group's flagship restaurant, Chez Papa Bistro on Potrero Hill, has - shock, horror! - moved out the chef who "wasn't working out for us", and will be re-installing a former chef.
The "wasn't working out for us" chef wasn't French either, had removed some of the classic French dishes (at least, some of the ones I loved, like Lamb Daube), and has reduced the Chez Papa experience to being not very French at all.
In fact, aside from our French waiter and the excellent French maitre d'hote, you'd scarcely know you were in a French restaurant.
We heard while dining there the other night, that the new, old chef will be getting things back to normal very soon.
J'espere.
