A statement from O'Charley's vice president of marketing David Ellis said:

We made a difficult decision to close an underperforming restaurant on Sunday that was nearing the end of its lease.
This was a difficult decision and we appreciate our guests and the friends we have made over the years, and are thankful for our team members, who provided great food and excellent service to our guests.
We are assisting our team members in their transition to new employment. We invite our guests to enjoy dining with us at our nearby Lexington location.

This isn't the first closure of a popular restaurant to happen recently. Late last month, the Carrabba's location near Sparkleberry Lane also closed.

The Lexington location at 5595 Sunset Blvd. remains open.
