Last January I wrote that lease for Via Vai restaurant at 1483 East Valley Road in Montecito is not being renewed. This was a surprise since the place has always been hopping every time I have dined there and has been open for more than 30 years. Reader Primetime tells me that Via Vai had their “last supper” over the weekend. The eatery ended lunches on April 1.

This is truly a shame! Via Vai was always bustling with enthusiastic customers, lunch and dinner, serving great food, with a terrific “specials” list every day (no where else can you get Puntarelle!). Attentive service, magnificent view of the Santa Ynez mountains from their terrace. It will greatly missed! Classic crazy landlord decision which happens so often in this town!!
