Camino menu license#
Moore declined to provide specifics, explaining that the new chapter for Camino’s space wasn’t his to tell, but said the restaurant’s liquor license is in the process of being transferred. There is already a new operator waiting in the wings for the building. So, with Camino at the top of its game, they’re walking away. But I didn’t want Camino to be a place with like a $60 entree. “We could have made it easier on ourselves by making a fixed price menu or just raising prices. “The time for a place like Camino is over,” Moore said. It all can be traced back to a financial shift in the industry over the last few years, Moore said, wherein businesses of Camino’s size really began struggling more often than not with higher operating costs and finding staff. Russell Moore, who co-owns the restaurant with Allison Hopelain, said though the decision was bittersweet, selling the restaurant was an idea they’d been mulling over for about a year. Oakland’s Camino will close in late December after 10 years of business.
