The last week has concluded as badly as it began for Bistro LaZeez at 8009 Norfolk Avenue in downtown Bethesda. Last Thursday, the Montgomery County health department
closed the restaurant down. But yesterday, a landlord's complaint filed in the District Court of Maryland stated the bistro has failed to pay rent for several months. A sheriff's summons has been posted in the window. The document declares the restaurant owes $44,433.24 in back rent and late fees, and demands a total of $47,475.24 be paid by the trial date of March 7.
