After 21 years, David Zuka is closing Ravenous Restaurant on Phila Street. Courtesy Ravenous<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ravenous Restaurant will be serving their final sweet and savory crepes and pommes frites at 21 Phila St. in downtown Saratoga Springs at the end of November.
\nAfter 21 years, owner David Zuka made the announcement On Nov. 2 that he will close the creperie on Nov. 30.
\n\u201cIt is with heavy heart that I\u2019ve made this decision to close Ravenous and move on to my next chapter,\u201d said Zuka. \u201cI am indebted to this community, moreover, to the outstanding efforts of the staff who have helped me build upon the reputation of Ravenous since I purchased it in 2014. It certainly has been an enjoyable ride.\u201d
\nZuka purchased Ravenous in 2014 in a partnership. He became the sole owner in 2018.
\n\u201cMaintaining the restaurant in the midst of the 2020 pandemic has resulted in a restructuring of the business model to accommodate a new volume of take-out offerings. Mission accomplished,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cDespite this regained stability, and the many pinnacles for the business over the years, I\u2019ve decided to cease restaurant operations for personal and family reasons. Although a difficult decision, I\u2019ve always preached and supported my staff in putting themselves and their families first, and now I\u2019m following my own advice.\u201d
\nZuka said he thanked the \u201cloyal customers for the opportunity to serve them and express my creativity in coming up with new fillings and menu items to tantalize and satisfy their taste buds. For some reason, they kept coming back. We\u2019ve had a loyal following and I am grateful for their continued patronage throughout our history.
\n\u201cMy hope is that Ravenous provided them with a dining experience that left an impression that will be fondly remembered in the years to come.\u201d
\nRavenous celebrated 21 years of business in October of 2020. For two decades, Ravenous has been known for and committed to sourcing the highest quality ingredients available, to prepare daily from scratch – crepes, sauces, pommes frites, poutine and house-made beverages.
\nRavenous will be open through Nov. 30 for lunch and dinner on Tuesdays through Fridays, and for brunch and dinner on weekends.
\nDue to limited seating capacity, reservations are recommended. For more information, visit www.ravenouscrepes.com\/
\nFor inquiries about the availability of the business, contact Zuka at info@ravenouscrepes.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
