Update: The new closing date is July 31.

LARCHMONT, NY — A beloved restaurant in Larchmont, Vintage 1891 Kitchen, is closing its doors after more than 12 years in business.

The restaurant, located at 2098 Boston Post Road in Larchmont, announced on social media on June 1 that they would be closing their doors for good on June 30. However, on June 16, the owners said that they were able to extend their lease for another month, so the new closing date will be July 31.

The New American restaurant and lounge has been known for its salmon and tuna tartares, wasabi-pea crusted tuna, lobster paella, pan-seared duck breast and rack of lamb for more than a decade. Other customer favorites that made Vintage 1891 Kitchen a popular destination on the Sound Shore include duck dumplings, cauliflower fritters, fresh popcorn with truffle or rosemary, and ricotta kisses.

An outpouring of support and appreciation from fans of the restaurant appeared on the restaurant's social media page shortly after the announcement.

The full statement from Vintage 1891 Kitchen on June 1:

"Greetings friends and family!

Sadly, the rumors are true. After more than 12 years serving our community, Vintage 1891 Kitchen will be closing June 30, 2023.

We are truly sad to be leaving our beloved restaurant after all this time. We’ve had an incredible time here as we’ve made so many friends we now call family. We’ve always hoped our distinct combination of amazing food, beautiful space and fun vibe would make people happy and excited to return again and again.

We love Larchmont and we want to reopen again here in another location. We are trying very hard to find space for all of us that is true to what we believe is the soul of ‘Vintage’.

In the meantime, Vintage 1891 Kitchen has a ‘sibling’ restaurant in Pleasantville, NY, Vela Kitchen. And we are hoping to open another sibling restaurant, Vesta Kitchen in Harrison, NY before the end of the summer.

So please share this post and we hope you will stop by this month to say hi as we close one chapter and open another.

We are humbled by your support and incredibly grateful. We love you all and we hope to see you soon!"

However, on June 16, the owners posted that they would remain open for another month:

"We are pleased to announce that due to an outpouring of love and support,and an understanding building owner, our lease for Vintage 1891 Kitchen has been extended until July 31st.

The main goal was to assure our guests that we will be maintaining our staff as well as the high quality of our food throughout the months of June and July.

As always, we thank you for your support and we wholeheartedly welcome our loyal customers back for the extra month of July!"
