“There are so many people coming in here flipping out,” said the café’s owner, Murray Jamieson, about the pending closure. “We have people who come here, like, literally twice a day.”Mr. Jamieson said problems between himself and VAG management contributed to his decision to close the restaurant. Mr. Jamieson said for three years, he was unable to negotiate a long-term lease with the gallery until finally, he gave them one-year notice that he would leave.
Mr. Jamieson said in November, 2017, he sent an e-mail to management inquiring about the status of the lease agreement. But he said he did not receive a response for more than six months.On May 31, 2018, he gave the VAG one year’s notice that he intended to close the café. Mr. Jamieson said after delivering his notice, he made an offer to the VAG to buy him out that would have included all of the infrastructure and furnishings. But he said there was no response to the offer.The VAG declined interview requests from The Globe and Mail about the café, but said in a written response that the restaurant will close temporarily starting May 1 for renovations, “including a refresh of the interior and of its menu.” A grand reopening is to take place late this summer.
When asked in a follow-up e-mail about Mr. Jamieson’s concerns about the way he was treated, the gallery provided a longer statement noting that Mr. Jamieson had an operating licence for 20 years.
