JOLIET, IL — Six months after Casa Catrina opened inside the historic Union Station to great excitement from the city of Joliet staff, a different downtown Joliet Mexican restaurant has folded up and shut down.
This weekend marked the end for Azul Celeste Bar and Grill located at 307 N. Chicago St. across from the Will County Government Offices. Azul Celeste had a following, but it was never a big following, and now it's over.
A Facebook post showing photos from the last night of business generated 140 likes, 18 comments and two shares.
"Thank you to everyone who supported us in this wonderful experience and made my dream come true. Many of you became more than just customers, you became friends. I say goodbye for everything we experience at Azul Celeste Bar & Grill ... I leave with mixed emotions: sad to stop cooking for you, yet happy to finally get some rest. Love you all," the restaurant owners shared on their Facebook page.
