It's time to bid farewell.🖐
As we step into the new year and mark our 13th year in operation, we share a bittersweet announcement. Table 188 Restaurant will be closing its doors permanently on Saturday, February 17th.
This decision arises as our lease has come to an end. Although our plan was always to sell the business at the end of our time, renewing the lease would require us to personally guarantee a new purchaser for a significant period – a deal breaker in the current climate.
The journey began when Ryan, at the age of 21, ventured out on his own after starting his career as a chef at 15 years old. We started at 188 Featherston Street and later moved to The Square.
We've been part of countless celebrations with all of you, and we couldn't be more grateful.
Before we say our final goodbyes, we will reopen on Thursday 18th January, and continue operating each week from Thursday through Saturday evening, with the addition of Valentine's Day.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout the years – our family, staff, friends, and cherished customers. Whether you dine with us weekly or once a year, we appreciate each one of you and will miss you.
Following our closure we are looking forward to taking some time out and enjoying evenings at home with our wee family and being able to sit down for dinner ourselves (it’s the small things).
Before we embark on the next chapter, we would love to see you all one final time to express our gratitude and say see you later.
