After three months of failed negotiations with our landlord, dealing with break ins and homeless encampments around Hayes Valley every week, and our own personal struggles during the pandemic thus far, it’s been a challenging few months and we are sad to officially report that Dobbs Ferry is permanently closed. When we took over Dobbs Ferry in January of 2018, it was the beginning of what had been a dream of ours, to start a restaurant company, Diablo Restaurant Group, and spread our love of hospitality and do what we do best every day. This wasn’t what we had imagined when the Shelter In Place started and it broke our hearts to say goodbye to a staff who had become like family and place that we worked so hard to make our own. While the current situation of the world has changed what life looks like right now, we are thankfully healthy and that dream is still alive. We will be back in some other form when the time is right so please keep in touch, keep following us, and help us as we will continue to use our social media platform to support our industry, our friends and staff in their own adventures until the day comes and we start a new one of our own. As reported earlier this week, we aren’t alone on this growing list of businesses, so keep supporting small businesses whenever and however you can, and have compassion for those that are putting themselves out there every day to keep restaurants and bars alive. Thank you to our Chef, managers, staff, vendors, friends, patrons, and most of all family, who’s had our back since day one and is helping us keep our spirits high. From our Dobbs Ferry Family to yours, stay safe, be smart, wear a mask, be kind to one another and take it slow, one day a time ❤️ @ Dobbs Ferry SF
