NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The well-known French Quarter restaurant Saint John announced the closing of its Decatur Street location.
In a post on social media, restaurant staff said the business will be close for the summer but will open in a new location in coming months. They said the goal is to pay the staff for the coming weeks with the hope of reuniting in the fall.
Few details have been released in regard to the move, but management released a statement on the change.
To our loyal customers, friends and family – can’t thank you enough for the happy hours, brunches (and drag brunches!) and dinners you shared with us. We’ve had some awesome times…along with some really difficult times operating a restaurant in the French Quarter. But we LOVE this restaurant, we believe in this concept, and we wouldn’t take closing forever for an answer. We can’t WAIT to share the news of our new location with you – Saint John is going to become what we’ve always envisioned…just what it’s supposed to be.
For now, we’re saying goodbye. But don’t worry…what’s next is going to be GREAT.
Saint John Management
