The Dr. Phillips-area restaurant Slate closed abruptly this week

The Dr. Phillips restaurant Slate closed its doors permanently this week.

A post on the restaurant's Instagram page Wednesday — now the sole post, as all other photos have seemingly been wiped clean — was short and to the point:

It is with a heavy heart we announce the permanent closure of our restaurant. We extend our sincere gratitude for your loyalty and support throughout the years.

Farewell, and thank you for being a cherished part of our community. 💛

Slate, located on Sand Lake Road, specialized in modern American fare and had been operating since 2015.
