The Royal Diner is Closed, Waiting for its New Chapter to Begin!

It has been a wild ride bringing the Royal Diner (formerly the Chelsea Royal Diner) back to life. We have been reflecting a lot on our journey with this space and on life as a whole this holiday season. During our reflection, we came to the conclusion that we have done our part (pouring blood, sweat, tears, and investing in the improvement of this beloved historic diner) and that it is time to pass the torch. 

We love the Royal Diner, our staff, and what we have been able to create for the community. However, we profoundly believe that the right people to continue the legacy of this amazing diner are out there waiting for us to make space for them. 

We are closing effective immediately. We want you to know that the customers, especially our regulars and avid supporters, made this decision so difficult. The last thing we wanted to do is let you down. We hope you will welcome the next chapter of this space as warmly as you welcomed us. 

Best wishes to you and all your loved ones in 2026 and cheers to whatever the future has in store!
