Just found out Restaurant 22 has apparently closed down - what a shame as they were so lovely and did such great food. We've had a few really good nights out there and will really miss them.

Such a shame, I really liked their lunchtime Bento Box.

Oh no, that's a disaster. It was my favourite restaurant in Ware.

Seems it was not favorite enough!

Poor location? I kept meaning to give them a try, but the fact they were tucked out of the way was probably one of the key reasons I never got round to it...

We were only in there last Friday night for dinner. We have recently been going to it about once every 2-3 weeks. A real pity as their food was excellent, however, it did seem pretty quiet compared to the other good restaurants in town.

It is a shame they haven't made more of the square. It could be a really nice feature of the town, with cafe's and restaurants all with outside dining specially in the summer time.

I think (personally) the square needs a big fountain (whatever happened to that idea?!) and a few green "patches", for instance some hardy trees (the type that are virtually indestructable) planted. At the moment it just looks like a car park because there is no greenery whatsoever. A coffeeshop or similar would be nice too. Idealised dreams, I know, but I think it would work. The trouble also seems to be that the units are too big - I seem to think there are just three - the former Restaurant 22 and fomer AB's bar, and the dentist.

I have always said it needs a covered stage so there can be all types of activities taking place with bars and restaurants around it. Oh! and the dentist for emergencies!!

When this restaurant opened (2 or 3 years ago?) it's Oriental fusion concept was both absolutely delicious and ambitious (for a small town like Ware). I think it was actually too good, and so the prices were quite high (although still good value for 'fine dining').Unfortunately as time went on, ecnonomics forced them to change their menu to run of the mill Chinese dishes with just a couple of the older (European size portions) meals retained - so whilst it became a bit cheaper, it lost what made it fairly unique in the first place. Shame really, but I agree it's location didn't really help.

another victim of the credit crunch i suppose,[:(], there will be more yet i'm sorry to say.

There is a large banner on the front of the old Restaurant 22 premises stating that it will soon be opening as a 'traditional Turkish restaurant'.

Interesting and a bit different, but is there really enough trade for all these extra venues?

Won't a Turkish Restaurant do very similar food to the Greek resaturant in Ware?
