I guess that answers that question. That's a gorgeous building.

In the middle or towards the end of March, Kenton's, the contemporary Southern restaurant on the corner of Magazine Street and Nashville Avenue, will close. When the space reopens after a short renovation, it will be Alon Shaya's new contemporary Israeli restaurant, Saba.

Kenton's was opened in 2015 by Sean Josephs and Mani Dawes, who also had Tía Pol and Maysville in New York. "I thought we built a beautiful space. I think we put out tasty food. I thought we benefited from the best press we could get," Josephs said. "In spite of that, we just weren't meeting our financial goals."

Wow. I never ate there, but saw the building and lots of pictures of the inside. Looks like a very nice space.

Explains why they were being tight lipped about it.

It is way out of the city. Word is Shaya will be in the running with James Beard Houston restaurants.

The one time I dined there, that is what I noticed. I remember reading an article in the Gambit where they said they basically said they took NY prices and just went with that.
There is a Bourbon Festival dinner there next week. I wonder how that is going to play out.

How many places are closing in NOLA? Seriously, what is going on?

Oversaturation despite what Fitz says. Food Trucks and pop ups don’t help.

Lots of drinkin. LOTS.

I enjoyed the joke good sir.
Restaurants in New Orleans aren’t closing more than normal. Probably just perception and coverage. Restaurants open and close across country all the time but for some reason New Orleans seemed to be immune to quick failures (in general). Heard someone once say “New Orleans is the city where restaurants open but never close.”
That may be ending.

Rent is high as a giraffes arse. There are like 1200 restaurants. Do the math.
