More restaurant closures hit the Baltimore area
Both Langermann’s and Christopher Daniel are no more; Colette’s shutting down appears portend changes

Several restaurants in and around Baltimore have closed, including
Colette, a French restaurant in Station North, closed May 28, just over a year after it opened. But posts on its social media pages indicated that there are changes ahead for both Colette and its sister restaurant, Bottega. “We are going on a little summer break beginning this Monday,” a May 26 post on Colette’s Facebook page read. “We will remain closed for some renovations around the house and will announce a reopening date soon with more details to follow.”
Colette opened in February 2016 at 1709 N. Charles St. with seating for about 75. Bottega, a BYOB, opened a block away in 2013. Both are owned by chef Adrien Aeschliman.
Langermann’s in Canton also closed Memorial Day weekend after filing for bankruptcy twice in the past two years. The restaurant, located in the Can Company building at 2400 Boston St., opened in 2009 serving lowcountry cuisine. Its last day in business was May 28. Langermann’s filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2015 and again in 2016 in an effort to restructure its debt. In 2015, the restaurant owed $1.05 million. The owners said their business took a hit that year as a result of the riots following Freddie Gray’s death.
Mark Lasker and David McGill were partners in the restaurant.
And Christopher Daniel has shuttered after 12 years of business in Timonium. The restaurant at 106 W. Padonia Road opened in 2005 with the slogan, “Come casual, dine fine.” Signs on the restaurant have said for weeks that the restaurant is closed for a “private event.”
“The community bar and restaurant has always been a dream of mine,” Hammons said. Through Shipyard Pub, they said they hope to create a community-centered bar with a “Prohibition theme.” Shipyard will offer fresh, local pub fare, with a bar program focused on bourbon and rum.

A fourth Iron Rooster at McHenry Row in Locust Point is expected to open in August.
