""Costs are going up and up continually. Our cover count goes down and down," said Eric Tucker, referring to the number of diners a restaurant serves."
""For a hot moment, vegan was a thing and kind of trending. I think a lot of people are doing a diametric, 180-shift and going back to a heavier, animal-based diet.""
Millennium, a vegan restaurant in Oakland, is closing on May 16 after over 31 years of operation. Rising costs and a decline in diner numbers have made it difficult for mid-priced restaurants to survive. The restaurant, known for its sophisticated plant-based dishes, has faced increased competition in the vegan dining space. Shifting dietary trends, with some diners returning to animal-based diets, have also contributed to the downturn in business. Millennium's closure reflects a broader trend among similar establishments in the Bay Area.
