BlackFinn American Grille, located at the northern end of the Saint Louis Galleria, has permanently closed its doors, as reported by St. Louis Business Journal. The independently owned restaurant, which also has locations in Houston, Jacksonville, Fla., and Mt. Prospect, Ill., was open for just less than two years. While The Scoop has been unable to get in touch with the owners of BlackFinn, its website reads: “We want to extend a sincere thank you to the Richmond Heights community for the support you have shown during our time serving you.”
BlackFinn’s enormous 10,000-square-foot space with seating for more than 400 people was the former location of the department store, Mark Shale. Future plans for the space remain unknown.
