MANHATTAN — Famed restaurateur Danny Meyer is slated to close one of his restaurant's for the first time this year.
The Madison Square Park Indian restaurant Tabla will close December 30 after 12 years in business, chef and partner Floyd Caroz told customers in an e-mail Thursday, according to the Huffington Post.
"Despite our greatest efforts, it’s 283 seats have proved too many to sustain for a restaurant with such a specific culinary focus," Caroz said, the website reported.
"This has been an overwhelmingly painstaking decision for me, Danny Meyer and our partners, especially as we consider the incredible people who work here and you, our loyal guests."
Tabla is one of the 11 restaurants that Meyer began as part of the Union Square Hospitality Group. Other restaurants include Madison Park, Blue Smoke, Jazz Standard and Shake Shack. He opened his first restaurant, Union Square Café, in 1985.
