“Hey folks, as many of you know, our ‘long, strange trip’ at Timone’s has certainly been an interesting one,” Eyester posted to the restaurant’s Facebook page late last week.

“To say it has been a learning experience is definitely an understatement. And while we certainly had our ‘ups and downs’ at Timone’s, I think that our efforts to try and make Timone’s work truly demonstrated our commitment to this beloved neighborhood.”

Late last year, Eyester temporarily shuttered Timone’s to remodel the restaurant and make some menu changes. The pizzeria and deli reopened early January 2015.

Here’s the rest of Eyester’s social media announcement:

But unfortunately, we have arrived at a tough crossroads, and I have decided to close Timone’s. As not to focus on the negative here, one door closes and another opens; I think it’s time we take a step back, and focus on the core elements that initially defined our success here in Morningside. Rosebud and The Family Dog have undoubtedly been steadfast parts of this neighborhood, and while exploring other growth options is exciting, these two concepts reflect my personality like no other. Life brings many lessons; hopefully the hardest ones yield a level of clarity that allow you to return to your roots, and apply what you have indeed learned to these things and make them that much better. I look forward to seeing you soon enjoying our version of community as we serve it at Rosebud and The Family Dog.

Timone’s last day was Sunday, July 26, according to a comment left by the restaurant on Facebook. No word on what will open in Timone’s place.
