LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A beloved Louisville restaurant is closed indefinitely after a heartbreaking fire last week.

Enso was closed Saturday, Oct. 19 and Sunday, Oct. 20, and are now unfortunately extending the closure for even longer.

According to an Enso social media post, everyone made it out safely during the fire.

"We are heartbroken to share that Enso experienced a fire, resulting in our extended closure," the post said. "Thankfully, everyone made it out safely, and we are immensely grateful to the Louisville Fire Department for their swift response."

Enso first opened its doors on Frankfort Avenue less than a year ago in October 2023. The restaurant combines food from Japan and the American South.

Enso was ranked the 15th-best new Southern restaurant in the U.S. this year, according to Yelp.
