After a more than five-year tenure that made it among one of City Center Bishop Ranch’s longest standing tenants, LB Steakhouse shut its door Monday while management, staff and diners braced themselves for the pending closure of the restaurant’s San Jose location Wednesday.
Those two restaurants were among the seven in the portfolio of Vine Hospitality Group — which laid off hundreds of staff members Monday and spurred a flurry of restaurant closure announcements throughout the Bay Area, as reported by Mercury News.
Although Monday was the last day of service in San Ramon according to a social media post that day from the owners, one commenter reported that its doors were already shut as of last Wednesday evening, while others wondered what would become of their gift card balances following the San Jose location’s upcoming closure this week.
“With heavy hearts, we share that our LB Steak restaurants will be closing,” Vine Hospitality representatives said on social media Monday. “Thank you to our guests, team members, and community for your support throughout the years. We are grateful for every celebration, meal, and memory shared with us.”
Closures of all seven of Vine Hospitality’s restaurants are set to be finalized by Wednesday.
