Downtown Restaurant Closes
Meanwhile, The Wheelhouse at 307 S. Jefferson Ave. closed on Jan. 17.
The Mexican-Thai fusion restaurant had moved into the downtown location in May after spending six years at the Vib hotel.
In a Facebook post announcing the closure, the restaurant cited financial strain. “We hate to say goodbye but it has become economically unsustainable to keep operating at this level,” the post said. “The team deserves stability, and that is something we have struggled with since opening in May.”
“Restaurants are a tough business,” the post added. “While the restaurant was everything we could’ve hoped for and more, the business unfortunately didn’t follow.”
