Connie & Ted’s, a seafood restaurant in West Hollywood known for its New England–style offerings, announced it will close on July 1. The closure was shared on the restaurant’s Instagram account on May 14.

The restaurant opened in 2013 and built a reputation for serving classic seafood dishes with a focus on fresh, straightforward preparations. Its departure marks another loss in a challenging environment for restaurants in the Los Angeles area, where rising costs and labor shortages have affected many establishments.

The owners did not provide detailed reasons for the closure, but industry observers point to the broader difficulties facing restaurants in the region. Connie & Ted’s joins a growing list of restaurants that have shuttered amid ongoing economic pressures.

The restaurant’s closure will leave a gap in the West Hollywood dining scene, where it was regarded as a reliable destination for seafood lovers. Customers and industry peers have expressed regret over the news on social media.

No immediate plans for the space have been announced. Connie & Ted’s final day of service is scheduled for June 30, with the closure effective July 1.
