After five years, Madison chef Tory Miller is closing his restaurant on the city’s near east side.

Sujeo is closing on Aug. 24.

“While I am heartbroken to say goodbye of course, I am not going to focus on negatives. I have never been happier to have this experience,” Miller said in a message posted on social media.

The restaurant is limiting its hours starting today. It will now be open Tuesday through Thursday and Sundays from 4:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. On Friday and Saturday the restaurant will stay open until 1:30 a.m.

Miller used part of the social media post to thank the staff of Sujeo, the community of farmer producers he worked with, and guests.

“I’ve made some incredible friends and learned more than I could have thought possible, about myself as a person, as a chef, and as a business owner,” Miller said.

Miller says he plans to focus on delivering the best experiences he can at his other restaurants, Graze, Estrellon, and L’Etoile Restaurant.
