Clementine's Bistro (1617 E. Passyunk Ave.) bowed out after a year. Phone has been disconnected and equipment is for sale. Not that the Passyunk Avenue strip is fading; expect an opening within several weeks at Da Vinci, taking over the former Tre Scalini space at 11th and Tasker, and Adobe Cafe's second spot, at 1919 E. Passyunk.
Also down is Kaizan, which lasted a grand total of five months in the Academy House (1420 Locust St.). Management acknowledged mistakes since opening. Rather than continue with trying to make changes, it chose to close and reopen this fall with a new concept.
