Verve on 100 Ave has been replaced by El Taco Loco. I've never seen anyone eating in any of the restaurants occupying that location.

It's their 2nd location, the 1st one is in Spruce Grove.
The menu looks good, although I'm concerned about the minimal drinks selection.

There were a couple of spots that worked likely due to long-standing local (older) customers, but those sadly fade.
I could see something like ElTL working given the changing demo.

Yes since its part of the Sea Change sphere. We finally got to Flat boy. It was OK. Not the spectacular I was told from others. But thats just me. few Burgers are spectacular.

Quick, simple, tasty burgers. Not life changing, but solid.

Izakaya Tomo a few nights ago now; not for everyone, but we certainly enjoyed it. The standout was the daikon hamachi in ponzu, but all were tasty and my last meal before the plague hit (unrelated).

In case it was missed - The Moth is closing later this year. Said due to 'redevelopment' but I'm not aware of anything.

Tis a good little spot with A LOT of character.
Redevelopment hey, call me curious.

Sounds like the roof has hit end of life and isn't worth repairing. I doubt the "redevelopment" has any real plans or money behind it, but I hope I am wrong. With e4c planning to vacate Alex Taylor soon this corner could get very quiet.

"Our planned closing date is the end of November 2026,” reads The Moth Cafe team on Instagram. “It’s also possible that we may need to close sooner should our roof become more compromised or if our 30+ year old rooftop heater stops working. When we know more, we promise to share updates openly and with care.
As Edmonton begins to revitalize this corner of Jasper Avenue and the part of the city, The Moth Cafe stands to not be part of that revitalization.
“This has not been sudden news for us, but something we’ve carried quietly for many years, a weight we learned to hold while continuing to show up each day,” says the team."

Another character corner spot with two businesses going to close and from the sounds of it be demo'd?
Please no.
Please no.

Loma House Vegetarian Express (23rd ave) and Langano Skies (inside Barb & Ernies Old Country Inn) are both also closing. Luckily it's because of the owners retiring, not financial problems.

XO Bistro (absolutely packed) pre-Oilers with a local legend.
I've been here a fair amount but had yet to try the papaya salad and it did not disappoint + gotta have their beef skewers as they are delicious.

I went to The Druid for dinner this evening during a night when there's no Oilers hockey. It wasn't busy but it wasn't dead either. I had the fish & chips and washed it down with a Guinness - so damn good! My server, Parker, is awesome! I promised her that I'll be back another day for the Irish stew. Only 2 criticisms of The Driud: 1. the washrooms are configured weirdly, and 2. I had to use the flashlight on my mobile to read the menu.
