'Upscale' Local Restaurant Closes After 6 Years
The restaurant business has traditionally been a tough industry, and even more so in the current economic climate.
Last Wednesday, The Edge, an upscale American restaurant in Jackson, New Jersey, announced it was closing after six years. The 200-person eatery opened in 2019 under founders Phil and Louise Cornick and became known for its unique modern design and a menu that included steaks, seafood and a host of handcrafted cocktails.
"More than a goodbye, it’s a heartfelt thank you. After so many unforgettable years, The Edge will be closing its doors," The Edge said on Instagram.
"We’re endlessly grateful for every guest, every team member, and every moment shared with our Jackson community. Thank you for making us part of your lives. The memories, the laughter, and your loyalty will forever stay with us."
According to NJ.com, the restaurant's ownership declined to elaborate on the decision to close. Meanwhile, on social media, commenters sent their well wishes.
"Oh man.. is there time to get one more burger?" one man asked.
"That was the best peanut butter martini I've ever had ????," a woman added.
"Sorry to see this happening! Loved having drinks and dinner here ????," a second woman said.
"Such a beautiful place and great food . It’s tough lately for business . Sorry to hear," a second man chimed in.
"Loved the Edge, had many wonderful times there. Wish we could go one more time. We will miss you!" a third man said.
The Edge's official website also confirms it is closed for good, and it is now listed as "permanently closed" on Google as well.
