Restaurants close for many reasons. It could be bad food, less than stellar service, bad location, or poor money management. It even happens to the good ones.

As reported by Sue, it sounds like Dorado on the Camp Hill bypass on the West Shore is in the process of being sold and has closed for the time being. I have heard it may be the same owners as Kokomos on Route 22. My guess is Dorados will be called Aroogas as this is the new name of the former Kokomos on 22.

It’s also being reported on the PennLive Forums that the New Market Bistro is closed. The owners are from the former Cafe on Market in Camp Hill. One person writes “I read that the rent was astronomical and Holy Spirit is trying to push everyone out of that area.” Both Dorado and New Market Bistro claimed to be upscale dining establishments and were located on opposite sides of the Camp Hill Bypass.

It’s sad to see either of these places close, but it could be a sign the economy is catching up with everyone.

Dorado was actually put up for sale over a year and a half ago. It is a shame to see it close as it proved to be a popular spot.

I had a gift certificate to New Market Bistro I never got to use! Just wanted to complain a little more…

New Market Bistro wasn’t what I’d call upscale. Very mundane and ordinary.

And, Holy Spirit is trying to clear that entire area for expansion. At least that’s what I’ve been told.

what the hell you talkin bout mundane and ordinary…mike you dun know what yins is talkin about….i worked in that there establacimiento for a solid year and that place was run as smooth as your baby ass cheeks…question, was the jazz band every thursday nite with a rib special ordianry??…..was the oh-so-delicious ginger chicken salad with finely marinated chicken and fresh mandrin oranges mundane ??? dees ees wha i am talking abouh you fool

Dorado’s food was horrible……the owners thought they were upscale dining, but the food was just plain bad.

The bartenders were all top notch and it was nice that they supported live music.

Something to say?
