We would like to give a huge heartfelt thank you to all that supported Lady Esther’s. Many of you know we didn’t close abruptly. I wish we could’ve contacted you all individually. At this time we are going to focus on catering and hope in the next few months to open a full service restaurant in a new location. We were very limited with operating hours and the location wasn’t a good fit for us. As you know “if it doesn’t make money, it doesn’t make sense”.
