It is with a heavy heart that we announce The Kennison will permanently close its doors after brunch service on Sunday Oct. 2nd. We will operate our normal breakfast, brunch, and dinner schedule through the 2nd.
It has been a great honor to serve the incredible Lincoln Park community, and we sincerely want to thank you for all of your support. We hope you’ll stop by for one last meal (or several) so we can say goodbye and thank you in person for your patronage over the years.
