"Chef Brad Kilgore's two restaurants, the casual Cafe Sebastian and the much-hyped Ama, are both now closed, as reported by the Chronicle. Restaurant kitchen equipment was seen being wheeled out of the spaces under the watch of a security guard on Tuesday morning."
"Kilgore stated that the new owner of the property was seeking an 'unaffordable' lease rate for the spaces, and he mentioned plans to demolish the building they're in as well."
"Kilgore expressed, 'I'm incredibly grateful to the San Francisco community that has supported us since the very beginning of this project, and with these openings.'"
Chef Brad Kilgore's Italian-Japanese fusion restaurant Ama and the casual Cafe Sebastian have both closed after just seven months in business. The closure follows the departure of developer Michael Shvo from the Transamerica Pyramid, leading to the termination of the restaurant leases. Kilgore cited an 'unaffordable' lease rate from the new property owner and mentioned plans for the building's demolition. Despite the quick exit, Kilgore expressed gratitude to the San Francisco community for their support since the project's inception.
