The sudden closing of the Hazard Grille in Enfield last week has left many holders of gift certificates wondering what to do with them.

Patch called the office of Attorney General George Jepsen Thursday, and was given the following directions by a staff member:

• Write a letter containing your name, address and telephone number;
• Include a photocopy of the front and back of your Hazard Grille gift certificate;
• Mail to Attorney General's Office, attention Public Inquiry, 55 Elm St., Hartford, CT 06105.

Meanwhile, management of the Olive Garden Restaurant, located next door to the Hazard Grille, are offering a discount to holders of Hazard Grille gift certificates.

Tim Connelly, Olive Garden general manager, e-mailed Patch, saying:

We reserved the right to cancel this special offer at any time. This offer is not available to the former owners, or any employees of the Hazard Grille.
