"Three former employees at Requin, the contemporary French restaurant on the Southwest Waterfront that was one of the last two businesses in Isabella’s collection to go under, are accusing the chef, two partners, and a manager, of wage theft and fraud perpetrated over Requin’s final two months." - Gabe Hiatt
"Requin was a fine dining restaurant at The Wharf, built for chef Mike Isabella in 2017. It has been empty for nearly two years following an eviction suit filed by Isabella’s landlord in late 2018. Requin featured a contemporary French menu and was associated with chef Michael Rafidi before he parted ways with Isabella." - Tierney Plumb
"According to court filings, Isabella’s landlord at the Wharf development is trying to evict Requin because of unpaid rent. On Christmas Eve, signs posted to the doors at Requin said the restaurant was closed for the holidays but planned to re-open this week." - Gabe Hiatt
"Requin is a modern French restaurant managed by Michael Rafidi, part of Mike Isabella's restaurant group." - Warren Rojas
"The latest action is taking place right around Top Chef alum Mike Isabella’s French-themed Requin." - Warren Rojas
