Braeburn Restaurant Closing

by Brian on January 25, 2011

As of Tuesday, January 23, 2010, Braeburn Restaurant will be closing its doors.  Since we opened in the Fall of 2008, our reception to New York City’s culinary scene has been incredibly warm and welcoming, and we owe that to our loyal and gracious guests who have quickly become our friends.

Even though Braeburn will no longer exist in the West Village, what remains is our enthusiasm for local and high quality food, a fervid interest in wine and spirits, and creating memorable dining experiences. We have no doubt that our next ventures will posses all of these elements.

What also remains is our continued support of the West Village.  The community has been remarkably supportive of us, and we hope to continue our support in the near future in some way.

Again, we thank your for your patronage over the past two years and we look forward to sharing the next chapter of our lives with you.

Sincerely,

John Paul O’Neil and Chef Brian Bistrong

We encourage you to continue to stay in touch with Chef Bistrong by continuing to visit this blog for helpful cooking tips, techniques, and recipes that will allow you to enjoy the spirit of Braeburn Restaurant in your own kitchen.
