Isa Temporarily Closes Amid Rumors of Staff Shake-Up

Earlier today, a reader pointed out that Taavo Somer's critical darling Isa is not taking reservations this week. Eater spoke with a host at the restaurant who said that it is closed at the moment and they "hope to be back open by Thursday." No explanation was given for the shuttering, although Eater hears from a reliable source that there were some big staff departures recently. And in case you're wondering, the book club meeting was moved to Sunday.

More news as it becomes available.
UPDATE: Isa's sous chef tweets: "The great feeling of 'unexpectedly' loosing ur Job! Stayed tuned for more Chez Jose then."
