Sansom Street Oyster House is closed, and owner Cary Neff is not talking about it.
He filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 last month, and the next move will belong to David Mink, who still owns the building at 1516 Sansom St.
Mink is expected to reopen SSOH soon, with his son in charge.
Mink, whose dad Sam owned Kelly's on Mole Street, founded SSOH in 1976. In 1999, Neff joined David Mink as chef of the restaurant. In September 2000, Neff bought the business.
Neff last year opened Coquette, a French spot at Fifth and Bainbridge Streets. It's unaffected by Sansom Street's closing.

I knew that was coming. Last week he had no fresh fish. This place has been going down hill for a long time. Why Neff opened a new place (Coqette) I'll never figure out. Glad to see Dave Mink back.

coquette was packed last time I was there, except for the service the food was fresh and great!
