What happened to Star Anise on Barrington?

Discussion

Star Anise, a cute little Vietnamese restaurant on Barrington Street. I used to go there at least twice a week with my ex. I stopped going so often, and then eventually not at all but I always made it a priority to stop in during the colder months. Obviously life-style changes but I used to go in there for the spring rolls, and rice-noodle soup. It was so homey and cute, and the food was delicious. It's now Barrios, I never really knew what happened or why it closed. The last time I went, the lady who always served me seemed rather forgetful and I'm wondering if maybe it closed down because she got sick, I was quite fond of that place.. Breakups are hard, but losing a restaurant you used to love that closes? That's harder..
