We have some news to share... the time has come for us to say goodbye.
This was an extremely tough decision for us to make, but after nearly 6 years, Comma Food and Wine will be closing its doors for good.
We signed the lease in March 2020, with little clue of what was ahead, which ended up being nearly 2 years of impacts from a global pandemic. And who could’ve predicted that?
Being a new business we managed to thrive beyond this and achieved some amazing highs that we never dreamt possible. But with those highs also came with some challenges and a lot of sacrifice.
Running a small business means you never quite switch off. You’re always thinking ahead to tomorrow’s orders, next week’s bills and next month’s revenue. Over the years there seems to have always been another hurdle or cost increase. We navigated lockdowns, rising wages, increasing rent, utilities, supplier costs, and a cost of living crisis that has hit our industry particularly hard. Like so many small business owners, we kept telling ourselves that the easier times were coming just around the corner.
But we’ve made the difficult decision to close so that we can focus on our health, our wellbeing, and our family. And whilst tough, we feel at peace with the decision.
We are so proud of what we built. Comma became so much more than a restaurant. It became the place where this community celebrated the everyday and special moments. We shared proposals, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, first dates, long lunches and late nights. Being there for those times has been a huge privilege.
We’re excited to be welcoming a new venue operator to the space and cannot wait to see what they bring to the neighbourhood.
To every single person who dined with us, recommended us, or simply made Comma part of your routine - thank you. Every booking, every kind word or review, every familiar face meant so much to us.
We would love to see you one last time before final service early next month. Come as you are, let’s share a glass, and let’s go out the way we came in… together.
With so much love and gratitude,
Adam, Megan, and the team at Comma 💚
