Greywind, the Greenwich Village restaurant led by chef Dan Kluger, has closed its doors. The closure took place in early July, according to staff who spoke with NYC Restaurant Voice on Monday morning. Greywind opened with a focus on wood-fired cooking and seasonal menus, drawing steady evening crowds to West 8th Street.

On Sunday night, the dining room was empty except for a small group of regulars. A sign posted in the window thanked patrons for their support. The restaurant had become known for its market-driven vegetable dishes and a compact bar menu. Prices for entrees hovered around $32 to $38 in recent months.

Kluger, also known for his work at Loring Place, has not yet announced future plans. Staff were notified of the closure less than a week before service ended. Several said they are looking for work at other nearby establishments.

The closure comes during a period of high summer foot traffic in the Village, with sidewalk tables elsewhere filled late into Sunday evening. Greywind’s departure leaves a notable vacancy on a block that has seen steady restaurant turnover since late spring.

Further updates on Greenwich Village restaurant changes are expected later this month.
