Mendota Heights Cafe Closes After 10 Years

"We held out as long as we could," the restaurant announced on its Facebook page Thursday.

MENDOTA HEIGHTS, MN — Mendoberri Cafe and Wine Bar announced Thursday the end of its 10-year run in Mendota Heights.

"We held out as long as we could, but the time has come to close our doors," the restaurant posted on Facebook.

"Fingers crossed to potentially re-open if we get a boost from the recent relief legislation. We wish to thank each and every one of you for your steadfast friendship, support and loyalty over the past 10 years. It's truly been a great ride (notwithstanding this year). We also hold our staff and their families in our hearts and thank them for their dedication and endurance over the past 10 months. Without you we could not have stayed open this long. Please visit us over at #foodsmithpub and stay in touch...auf wiedersehen for now"
