Vickers Tavern in Exton is down.
The outgoing message on its answering machine the other day said as much, without elaboration. I wanted to get a reason -- and maybe some info about whether gift certificates would be redeemable -- so I left messages there and at the home of owner Julie Blank Kronenberg, who bought the historic property in 1999. It had been operated for many years before that by Arturo Burigatto.
Kronenberg did not reply. And now the restaurant phone has been disconnected.
An article in the Daily Local says the place was closed for personal reasons, without elaboration. The property is being offered for sale. Price: $1.55 million.
