Two Lights Restaurant From Michelin-Starred Clove Club Has Closed | Eater London

"Opened in autumn 2018 as one of London's early 'modern American' venues and led by chef Chase Lovecky, this small, seating-reliant restaurant married New England influences with techniques learned at Momofuku Ko and under Isaac McHale. Early highlights included a grouse sausage that nodded to McHale and a crab-and-beef-fat chip snack that quickly became a standout; after reopening post-lockdown the menu shifted toward American classics such as seafood boils, lobster rolls, oysters and fried chicken. Despite glowing initial reviews and a lockdown delivery offering described as a runaway success, the venue struggled to gain sustained momentum amid perceptions of parsimony, attempted a late-year makeover and menu adjustment, but ultimately announced permanent closure via Instagram citing curfews, tier restrictions and a second national lockdown as making continuation untenable." - Adam Coghlan
