Jackson Tavern, Brian Metzger's months-old restaurant at Plaza Palomino, closed Friday night. It had been open since January.
This is the second Metzger Family Restaurants enterprise to close in recent months. Metzger was locked out of Gio Taco on East Congress Street in March after falling behind on the rent. Gio had been open 15 months.
In a Facebook posting Saturday, company officials said the concept of New England cuisine "never took off the way that we thought it would."
Metzger Family Restaurants still operates Poppy Kitchen at La Paloma Resort on East Sunrise Drive.
