(KRON) – An East Bay Peruvian restaurant has announced it will serve its last plate at the end of the year.
Lima Restaurant took to its social media to inform its patrons of the closure.
“We are deeply grateful to our loyal customers who have supported us throughout the years,” said Lima Restaurant in the open letter. “Your patronage has meant the world to us, and we are proud of the community we built together.”

The eatery cites not being able to “fully recover from the recent discrimination lawsuit related to our ladies’ night discount.” Lima Restaurant also mentioned increasing costs for operations being a cause for the closure.
The discrimination lawsuit stemmed from the establishment having a ‘Ladies Night,’ where drinks and wine were half-priced for women for three hours every week, according to the restaurant.
The Peruvian eatery’s last day of business is Dec. 31. Lima is located in Concord’s Todos Santos Plaza.
