Another popular Mississippi restaurant announces closure in Jackson area – Magnolia State Live

Mississippi chef and entrepreneur Robert St. John has announced the permanent closure of Enzo, a popular Ridgeland restaurant that opened in 2022.

The announcement comes just days after the closure of Fenian’s Pub and Basil’s Downtown in Jackson.

On social media, St. John shared a heartfelt message with the community, employees and partners who have supported the restaurant over the years.

In his statement, St. John expressed his deep gratitude to the loyal customers and dedicated staff who supported Enzo through difficult times. “Your dedication, hard work and resilience have been the heart of this restaurant,” he wrote, acknowledging the team’s efforts to keep Enzo’s in business.

St. John stressed that Enzo’s closure is not just another business closing its doors without notice. He is committed to keeping the restaurant open until the final date, provided there is enough staff to support operations. He also thanked the owner and suppliers, who have been essential partners throughout the restaurant’s journey.

Ultimately, St. John accepted full responsibility for the restaurant’s closure, citing the many challenges he faced along the way. Despite the difficulties, he remains proud of what was built and the community that rallied around Enzo.

Enzo’s final weeks of business will be bittersweet, with the restaurant welcoming regulars for one last visit before closing its doors for good.
