Mediterranean Grill Abruptly Closes [Updated]

The rapid shuttering happened after a deal to sell the business fell through; all employees have been laid off.

Update, 11 p.m. Wednesday: PLEASE NOTE: When Patch spoke with former 'Grill' owner Mike Baffa, he said that he never spoke with anyone from Fairfield Examiner, although the writer of the article,  in question, James Cooper, did get the facts correct.

“I have no idea who that guy is, maybe he talked to someone else, a broker maybe,” said Baffa.
