The announcement was made on social media on Wednesday (August 5).

The Instagram post read in part, "After three and a half incredible years, we have made the bittersweet decision to pass the torch at our Newtown location. This decision was not made lightly. Since opening our doors, it has been our privilege to serve the Newtown community. We've had the honor of being part of so many celebrations, family dinners, and everyday moments shared around our tables. We are sincerely grateful for every guest that chose to dine with us, supported our team, and helped make this restaurant what it is today."
