"I watched the last days of Moby’s once-beloved Silver Lake vegan restaurant pass without much of a goodbye: after seven years it permanently closed earlier this fall, and although there were rumors of a wine-focused rebrand for the Rowena Avenue space nothing has materialized. Once highly talked-about and owned by a prolific musician who promised to donate all profits to animal welfare groups, the restaurant’s reputation was dented in 2020 when workers alleged he left them without health care benefits during the pandemic closure and was unresponsive; it later reopened with Moby as a silent partner and a new team before apparently closing for good." - Farley Elliott
