July 13, 2010 by Ken Elmore · Leave a Comment
Another Davis Islands business will shut its doors this weekend, in what is becoming a common scene in the Davis Islands Village.
Bryce Whittlesey, owner and chef of Chez Bryce sent out an email blast this weekend, alerting supporters he will be closing the doors. Note the reference to the dates are June, but actually are July closing dates.
Below is the email from Whittlesaey;
Dear Friends,
We regret to inform you that Chez Bryce will be closing its doors on Sunday, June 18th. We are deeply saddened by this, but due to the recession and current economy, we are unable to continue to operate. Although this is a very difficult time, we want you to know that we are deeply grateful for all of your support over the past three years. We appreciate you believing in our restaurant and for giving us the opportunity to provide you with what we hope were very memorable dining experiences – not only at Chez Bryce but in your homes as well.
We are planning a farewell dinner on Saturday night, June 17th and hope that you will be able to join us to say goodbye. We are planning to send an e-mail with details, however, please feel free to call the restaurant for further information and reservations.
On a more positive note, Chef Bryce will continue to offer his catering services and can be reached at 813-368-1256 or at brycewhittlesey@earthlink.net. Bryce looks forward to staying in touch with all of you and continuing to create the same dining experiences in the privacy of your own homes.
We thank each and every one of you for allowing us to share our passion for food, wine and friends with you……..all of the memorable moments will not be soon forgotten.
Kind Regards,
The Chez Bryce Team
J. Bryce Whittlesey
Chef/Owner
Chez Bryce
No word yet on what might be going into what is considered the premier Davis Islands Village space, which includes meeting rooms, dining room and an outdoor bar and courtyard.
