Pasadena’s Spanish Restaurant Dérive Closes After Just Four Months - Eater LA
"Tough news for Pasadena as it seems the only-just-opened Dérive on Green Street has closed. The restaurant announced its opening date in late January and debuted in early February, making this a truncated four-month run. Dérive was supposed to be a successful follow-up to the longstanding Spanish restaurant Ración, which served dinner at the same address for years. Whereas Ración felt like a date night pick, Dérive’s owner Loretta Peng described it as a casual almost all-day space, open daily from lunch through dinner, with brunch on the weekends and a compact bar inside. Unfortunately the experiment was short-lived, as Peng posted the following notice to her website over the weekend: The final night of service for Dérive has already passed. Eater reached out to Peng to find out what may be next for her or the six-year-old restaurant space, but so far has not heard back." - Farley Elliott
