Coquette's sheriff's sale is halted

Coquette at Fifth and Bainbridge Streets had faced a judgment from a former employee at owner Cary Neff's former establishment, Sansom Street Oyster House.

Community Legal Services doggedly pursued the unpaid wages, and got the sheriff's office to post notice of a sheriff's sale. That sale was to be held Thursday.

But CLS attorney Michael Hollander reports that the sale has been canceled as the judgment has been satisfied.

Neff said he was reconceptualizing Coquette.

    Neff has made a mess of every place he he's ever had. Why anyone would eat there, work for him, or lend him money is a mystery.

    True that. Makes you wonder what money is being used to "reconceptualize" if such a small judgement could literally shut the place down.
