Fatbelly Eats is closing this weekend after what the owner of the new restaurant described as a “dismal” winter in Basalt.
Owner Shane Vetter said the restaurant has struggled since opening in October. He was hoping for a surge of business in March, but instead has experienced some of his worst weeks.
Vetter said he sat down with landlords Joseph and Larkin Ciri and decided it was time to cut his losses. He is closing, he said, without owing anybody large amounts of money. He made a significant investment in improvements to the interior of the former Basalt Bistro space on Midland Avenue, so he and the Ciris were able to reach an accord on his departure.
Today is the last day of dining at Fatbelly Eats in Basalt.
