Absolute Auction
The former Coba Cocina space on Richmond Road next door to the Idle Hour shopping center has been fenced for safety. Restaurant equipment and fixtures are being auctioned, and the building may be demolished. The ambitious $4.5 million Coba Cocina space opened in 2013, with a jellyfish tank as its central conversation starter. The restaurant closed in 2016. Cowboy Brazilian Steakhouse briefly occupied the space in 2018 and the building has been empty since 2019.
Crab Out, Koi in
The Saucy Crab on Richmond Road has closed, and a Koi Express will open in that location.
