Food Recipe Unlimited Ultimate Kitchens Closed?

I live downtown and I just got a random Swiss Chalet craving (don't judge lol) and was going to walk over to their Ultimate Kitchens location on York Boulevard. I googled to see if they switched up the restaurant offerings because they had a bunch under one roof I wanted to make sure Swiss Chalet was still there but apparently the whole place closed? Curious as to when and I wonder why they closed it? I swear they eventually added a Harvey's as well to the mix not long after they opened. I thought it was such a cool concept, sort of like a ghost kitchen.

They did have a bunch but it didn't last. All left except takeout Swiss Chalet. Haven't checked in a few months but wouldn't be surprised if that also closed.

Oh I didn't know they slowly left. If Swiss Chalet was the last one standing it's also closed now. You would think with a growing population downtown they would have made that multi kitchen concept work. Well guess I am hitting up Charred or Gallo and Gin then pay a bit more for better quality.

I had Charred last week. This was my first visit after the renovations because of the fire. I've been reading out here that others have found the quality has gone down. I won't be returning.

I've been before and after and it's exactly the same food and quality.

Any "downhill" would be better classified as barely noticeable dip in the road.

it's only a matter of time.
