Linen Table, located at 391 Greene Avenue in Clinton Hill, shut down operations on June 13, 2024. The restaurant opened in spring 2019 and had become a staple for local diners.

Linen Table was opened in 2019 by chef-owner Jordan Franks. The restaurant was known for its seasonal New American menu and understated setting. It served Clinton Hill residents and visitors for five years.

The decision to close was announced in a brief statement posted to the restaurant’s website and social media. Ownership attributed the closure to shifts in customer traffic and rising costs in the neighborhood. Staff were reportedly given advance notice in late May.

Linen Table drew steady crowds before the pandemic and shifted to takeout during the 2020 shutdown. In the following years, the restaurant resumed indoor dining but, according to Franks, struggled to recover pre-pandemic numbers. Attempts to adapt included menu changes and limited hours.

The closure of Linen Table is part of a broader pattern of change for Clinton Hill’s dining landscape. Several nearby restaurants have also closed or adjusted business models in the past year, citing similar challenges.
