“Unfortunately we will close our doors. We want to thank all of our wonderful guests and employees for supporting us over the past few years,” the company wrote in its website.

“We are extremely grateful to be part of the French Quarter community.”

The restaurant gave customers little information about the reason for the closure.

However, when visiting the site, many could see that its iconic sign had already been removed and the gates closed.

The Magic Mike actor has owned the restaurant since 2012 with his friend Keith Kurtz.

The burlesque-themed hot spot was purposely placed in the heart of New Orleans, due to Tatum’s love for its “laissez les bons temps rouler attitude and colorful history.”

Many customers left glowing reviews about the company up to a week before their final days.

“I discovered this little gem on our last day here in NOLA! Needless to say, we wish we had discovered it on day one!” one person wrote.

“This place is phenomenal! The staff is amazing! The food, the atmosphere, the fun! Everything is excellent! Shrimp and grits?? Nothing better!! Wow!!” someone else added.

With the restaurant closed, the team is now encouraging people to donate to the Love Thy Neighbor foundation, which helps feed families around the world.

“Thank you again for contributing to the memories we created at Saints & Sinners. It was an honor to serve you,” the team wrote.

US Sun has reached out to Saint and Sinners for comment.

A representative for the restaurant confirmed that the company intends to enter international markets going forward.

“They experimented with a few markets,” the spokesperson said. Eater New York.

“Some worked while others didn’t.”

Salt Bae owns the Nusr-Et network with his business partners Ferit Sahenk and Mithat Erdem.

After closing its Salt Bae Burger location in Manhattan last year, Gökçe has just one restaurant left in the city, located in Midtown.
