A longtime Bay Area restaurant operator is shutting down every one of its eateries and cutting hundreds of jobs in a sweeping collapse that will leave seven popular dining spots dark. Vine Hospitality, a 32-year-old hospitality group known for its LB Steak and Left Bank Brasserie brands, announced that all of its restaurants are closing, according to notices posted across the businesses’ social media accounts. The sudden shutdown affects seven locations across the region, including two LB Steak restaurants and four Left Bank concepts, along with the company’s lone Mediterranean venture.
