Cuerno will be closing its doors this Sunday, so for all of you that have enjoyed dining there in the past, please stop by this weekend for a farewell.
No word yet on the reason for the closing.

I'm shocked - that was a great place. the parking was always a problem though... sure wish he'd open it up somewhere else if that was the problem.

Met a few friends there for wine, and they were already seated and eating when I arrived with a friend. Since we had already eaten earlier, we only wanted to order split a dish to go with our wines, so we ordered the Vegetable Paella... I thought it was about $18 on the menu so I was shocked when we were charged $36. it was a small pan of RICE. and VEGETABLES. and mediocre at that. I asked the waiter about this and he was kind of condescending when he pointed out it was $18 PER PERSON, which was not really clear on the menu. for something delicious or with seafood/meat maybe its fine, but just rice and vegetables and a food cost of like $2? did I mention it was small, and unfortunately bland, and $36? I felt kinda ripped off... we never went back.
I hate to see any restaurant fail, but I too had a pretty awful paella there, with woefully overcooked seafood (no, mussels are not supposed to be chewy) and a whole lotta attitude from the front end staff. I never went back and my partner was very vocal in his dissatisfaction. Perhaps Mr. Ullio took his eye off the ball on this one...
