đź’” Maiden Has Closed
We’re heartbroken to share that, as of this morning, Maiden has been locked out of our space and is now permanently closed.
Like many independent restaurants, we’ve faced an incredibly tough six months with rising costs, a slower season, and the lasting economic effects that so many small businesses are feeling right now. We had fallen behind on rent and were hoping to renegotiate our lease and keep Maiden going in the space we’ve loved so deeply.
Unfortunately, those efforts didn’t come together in time.
We weren’t given notice before the lockout, and we’re still processing how abruptly this chapter has ended. It’s painful and disorienting but we know how much heart went into every part of Maiden, and how much love came back from this community in return.
Luckily, we’ve been able to offer our small team other employment opportunities. Maiden was a team built restaurant with everyone working together towards a common goal. We are all feeling this loss deeply.
Maiden was more than a restaurant. It was a place for the tenderhearted. A place to feel safe, seen, and nourished. We’re proud of what we built, and we’re endlessly grateful to every person who walked through our doors.
We don’t know yet what comes next. But we’re still here. And we still believe in cruelty-free cuisine.
Thanks for 2 amazing years.
With love and deep thanks,
The Maiden Team
PS, Chaos reigns.
