Minnesota Daily (mndaily.com) reporter Rebecca Lang contributes this story about the recent announcement of the closure of Chambers Kitchen, the spacious and airy contemporary dining room and bar at Chambers, a luxury art hotel located in Minneapolis' theater district on Hennepin Avenue. Local restaurant owners D'Amico and Partners and their restaurant chain D'Amico and Sons have bought the space, and will be taking occupancy after Chambers Kitchen closes by month's end this July. On a recent visit to Minneapolis over the Fourth of July weekend, friends and I enjoyed breakfast at Chambers -- perhaps, the best in town -- featuring a great menu, fresh ingredients, and excellent and friendly service. We also headed back for drinks and enjoyed their ginger margarita (superb!) and bloody Mary (delicious). We learned that it would be last call for Chambers before closing down for good. The room will probably not look the same when D'Amico's moves in. Chambers hotel owner Ralph Burnet graces the restaurant interior and lobby with his impressive contemporary art collection, notably the stunning painting "L.W.S.2." (2001) by Ashley Bickerton featuring a spectacular image of a man dressing in a flophouse room, rich in moody sexual detail, and the haunting bust of a middle-aged man by Evan Penny titled "(Old) No One-In Particular #6, Series 2" (2005). The concept of both Chambers Kitchen and Hotel is distinctive, contemporary and fun, and their Kitchen will be greatly missed.
