"We expect this may come as a big shock to many of you," Sobolewski wrote in the Instagram notice. "But the fact is that even a seemingly busy restaurant is operating on razor thin margins, and it's gotten exponentially harder since the pandemic."
Marykate McGoldrick, owner of Sesame, A Tiny Bakery and a Bartavelle alum, posted on Instagram: "Bartavelle is very dear to me, and maybe it's dear to you. It has been a home for me at so many times on my baking journey, and Suzanne and Samuel generously always kept the kitchen open for me."
Drexhage and Sobolewski have started a GoFundMe campaign to help Bartavelle pay staff and local vendors, with the whisper-thin hope that the fundraiser or some additional donation helps it stay open.
