The Green Table, a farm-to-table restaurant in Williamsburg, announced it will close permanently on April 30. The restaurant opened in 2017 and was recognized for its commitment to organic, locally sourced ingredients.
Owner Michael Chen cited financial difficulties exacerbated by inflation and staffing shortages. Despite attempts to adapt by reducing hours and revising menus, the business was unable to sustain operations.
The space at North 6th Street is currently being marketed for lease. Patrons and local food industry figures noted that the closure underscores ongoing economic pressures on small independent restaurants in Brooklyn.
