S., 612-871-0777) a much-needed makeover. In addition to a new look, the restaurant will add a private dining room, a chef's table and expanded bar seating. To accommodate construction, the restaurant will close Nov. 8, partially reopen on Nov. 13 with a limited menu and be completely back in business on Nov. 27. SAY GOODBYE Sad words, posted on the door at Chet's Taverna (791 Raymond Av., St. Paul): "We at Chet's are no longer open for business. Thanks for your patronage. Good luck." Chi-Chi's has served its final Fiesta Platter. The Mexican chain has closed all of its 76 locations coast to coast, including its five Twin Cities outposts.
