I knew they closed due to COVID back in November but when restaurants were allowed to reopen, their doors stayed closed. Fast forward a few months - their website still lists the Rochester location on West Circle Drive but Google indicates that it is permanently closed. The building also was put on the market. You can read all those details from the story published in February 2021 here.
