It was founded by attorney Robert Caron nearly a decade ago.

 

He made the announcement that the restaurant was closing with a simple message, calling it a "good run."

 

Two Careers

He started his career in restaurants.

 

At the age of 17, Caron became the chef of El Torito, a West Coast restaurant chain. He waited tables at the Blue Grotto and Capriccio. Then, he attended Roger Williams Law School and made a reputation as a criminal defense attorney.

 

Nine-plus years ago, Caron opened Vino Veritas. It was a different type of top-tier dining. The small, intimate setting had a significant New Orleans influence mixed with Mediterranean dining.

 

The restaurant located on Broadway was a boost to the neighborhood and a wonderful plus to the city’s dining options. Sadly, the news comes just as the Uptown Theater (formerly the Columbus) is poised to reopen after a major rehab.
