Restaurateur and chef Kenny Gilbert announced Friday the closure of Gilbert’s Social on Southside Boulevard.
“It’s with great sorrow that my Gilbert’s Social team and I announce the closure of the restaurant,” Gilbert said in a news release. “We are so thankful to those who have continued to support our vision over the past three years.”
“We have made the decision not to renew the lease on the building and focus our efforts on new projects as well as our other restaurant, Gilbert’s Underground Kitchen,” he said.
Gift cards, promotions, large party reservations and turkey orders will be honored at Gilbert’s Underground Kitchen at 510 S. Eighth St. in Fernandina Beach, the release said.
Gilbert’s Social, at 4021 Southside Blvd. No. 200, opened in 2016.
Gilbert appeared on season seven of Bravo’s “Top Chef.”
