Another restaurant has closed its doors in downtown Orlando, marking at least 18 businesses that have closed their doors since last year.
DoveCote Restaurant closed its location at 390 N Orange Avenue, Suite 110, on October 1, following a seven-year run at the space in downtown. According to a statement posted on the business’s website, the restaurant is in the process of moving to another location.
“DoveCote is excited to announce its move to a new home! Our new location will be revealed in the coming months,” reads the statement. The restaurant said that it had hosted more than 1,700 events and served more than 300,000 guests for private and public events. It says it will continue those services elsewhere.
“DoveCote made the decision to look for a new home where we can further enhance our vision and better serve you. We look forward to serving and hosting upscale, elegant, dining and Event experiences,” according to the company.
No additional details were provided regarding the reasons behind its closure or potential addresses for its new location.
