The restaurant voluntarily closed to handle issues from a health department inspection

A sign was put on the door shortly after the closure saying that "The Wyck" would remain closed while renovations were being done. Customers were directed next door to a takeout beer shop, which was approved by the health department, but they were told the kitchen and the bar had to stay closed until given written permission for it to reopen.

The sign has since been taken down and it doesn't look like any renovations are happening. The restaurant's social media hasn't been updated, calls to the restaurant haven't been answered, and it is listed as "Temporarily Closed" on Google, the article says.
