Local Cantina is closing its Short North restaurant
Orange Umbrella Restaurants plans to close its Local Cantina location in the Short North, but a spokeswoman for the company said it hasn't yet determined when.
Despite media reports quoting employees and a sign on the door, Local Cantina remains open for now at 600 N. High St.
"The last day is to be determined, and all other locations will be open as usual," marketing director Ana Lowe said by email Wednesday morning.
