It’s a sad day for the Little Rock food scene. After three years of business, Natchez is closing its doors at the end of this week.
On Friday, the downtown restaurant’s owner, Chef Alexis Jones, made the heart-breaking announcement on Facebook:
Natchez will have our last dinner service July 25; this has been an incredible learning experience that I will always treasure. I would like to thank the local community for their loyal patronage and support throughout the past three years. We will miss serving you and hope to see you for our last two weekend services. I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you how much I have appreciated the very talented and lovely people who worked beside me, both employees and friends who moonlighted when I was in need- Y’all have been my heart and backbone; I could not have done it without you!
Located in the Tower Building on 4th and Center streets, Natchez was the purveyor of sophisticated Southern dishes, while always working with local farmers and producers to ensure customers got the freshest seasonal offerings.
The restaurant’s last day of business will be Saturday, July 25, so make sure you stop in to get your pastry fix. We’ll be there, wearing all black.
