Chef Geoff's closes in Rockville (Photos)

When I stopped by Chef Geoff's Sunday evening, the restaurant was closed. On the door was an explanation for the ostensibly-temporary closure.

Alas, owner Geoff Tracy has now confirmed the closure of his Rockville restaurant is permanent. He told Eater DC that he simply could not make the financials work at this location, and candidly said he should have closed it a year ago.

Sad news, as I've dined here quite a few times and it's been one of the top restaurants on the Pike since opening a few years ago.
