Millennium, an influential vegan restaurant in California, will be closing its doors on May 16 after struggling with ongoing financial challenges. The restaurant, known for its globally inspired menus and hyper-seasonal ingredients, has been a pillar of plant-based fine dining for nearly 32 years. Despite community support, decreased diner turnout following the COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult for Millennium to remain financially sustainable.

The team at Millennium is exploring the possibility of reopening in a new, smaller format that is intentional and sustainable in today’s dining landscape. While this chapter may be ending, there is hope that Millennium will continue to provide something special for guests in the future. As the closure approaches, the restaurant is asking for extra generosity from guests to support the staff during this transition.
