An email sent out from Chef/Owner Stephen Hurd with Relish Kitchen and Wine Bar today stated the following:
It is with mixed emotions that I will be closing Relish Kitchen and Wine Bar. We will be open and only serving dinner until Saturday, May 14th. It has been a pleasure preparing and sharing my food and wine pairings with you. Yet, all things must come to an end and I have decided to pursue another opportunity closer to family. I would like to thank you for your patronage and support. I hope you have enjoyed Relish as much as I have.
Relish the moment,
Chef Stephen
