Steak Frites was one of St. Pete Brasserie's most popular dishes.

Wednesday morning, St. Pete Brasserie owner and operator Justin Chamoun announced the downtown St. Pete restaurant would be closing. Their last night in business is Saturday, September 28.

"The rain this week seems very fitting for such a sad time for all of us here at the Brasserie. We have all enjoyed getting to know many of you over the years. It has been amazing to have such a loyal following and to see so many of you so often," Chamoun wrote on Facebook Wednesday.

Diners will no doubt miss the Brasserie's notable onion tart and steak frites (which former CL food critic Brian Reis loved in his 2009 review).

No reservations will be taken this weekend, all service is first come, first serve.
