According to Fox 2, the restaurant will serve its final meal on February 14 and its lease expires on February 28. Epicurean Group, which owns Novi Chophouse among other restaurants and catering companies, plans to retain all of its staff. In a statement to the Detroit Free Press, Epicurean Group president Eric Djordjevic says the restaurant was unable to negotiate a new lease. [Fox 2/Freep]
