SITELINE: Mollie’s restaurant has closed

The windows at Mollie’s on State Street (f.k.a. Trattoria Mollie on Coast Village Road) have been papered over, noticed Edible Santa Barbara, and sure enough, the restaurant has closed. Chef-owner Mollie Ahlstrand says she’s doing catering and cooking classes, and she might try to reopen closer to Montecito.

In its third-quarter report, Radius Commercial Real Estate shed a bit more light on the brewery coming to 102 E. Yanonali: It’s Validation Ale, which appears to be a new endeavor. The trademark is in the name of the Brian and Briana Deignan Living Trust.
