Pomme de Terre closed?

The Ditmas Park Blog has reported that Pomme de Terre is now closed. Does anyone know more? I really hoped that place would succeed.

According to this link, Pomme de Terre is due to reopen as a gastropub. After clicking the link, scroll down to the Lincoln Park Tavern heading, which provides a brief update.

Has anyone heard anything about the resurrection of Pomme De Terre? I really enjoyed that place and hope that the owners live up to their plans outlined by the above link. Anyone have an update?

Subject: Pomme de terre resurrected as The Ox Cart Tavern

I was walking today and noticed that the former Pomme de Terre is now The Ox Cart Tavern. I didn't have the chance to eat there, but after I got home did a little googling.
Apparently they don't have their full liquor license yet so they just have a few GOOD beers. Their menu looks fine to me but it IS lacking any sort of vegetarian alternatives:

It looked nice enough and I'm glad SOMETHING is there.. I'd hate ANY location to end up like the Solo was for so many years..

Ox Cart can choke and die. Way too loud for dinner. Way to lame for drinking.

When I went there, it was a little loud for dinner but not bad. Their menu is not that large but I had their chili and it was quite decent.
