A collection of restaurants and eateries run by James Beard Award-winning Seattle chef Renee Erickson is set to close, with some locations closing either temporarily or permanently.

Bateau, a contemporary steakhouse, and Boat Bar, a French-inspired oyster bar, are shutting down temporarily on June 19. Both restaurants are expected to reopen in the next three to six months.

鈥淲e鈥檙e incredibly proud of what Bateau and Boat Bar have brought to Seattle鈥檚 dining scene,鈥� Erickson said in a prepared statement. 鈥淭his closure will allow us the time and space to refresh and retool these restaurants after a long 10 years, so they can evolve and continue to inspire.鈥�

Multiple General Purpose caf茅s to close permanently

However, Beataeu’s next-door neighbor, The General Porpoise caf茅, also owned and operated by Erickson, is set to close permanently in order to be converted into a private dining room. The General Porpoise location in Laurelhurst is also closing permanently by June 24.

These restaurants fall under the umbrella of Sea Creatures Restaurants, a network of eateries locally owned and operated by Erickson and partners. Sea Creatures Restaurants also owns Willmott’s Ghost, The Whale Wins, The Walrus and the Carpenter, Barnacle Bar, Deep Dive, Westward, and Lioness.

The closures, both permanent and temporary, came after a unionization effort led by some Sea Creatures employees earlier this year, according to .

“We are comfortable with the union,” Sea Creatures Restaurants co-owner Jeremy Price told The Seattle Times. “That鈥檚 an employee鈥檚 right, and we are all good with that.”

Erickson and Price’s goal is to relocate all doughnut shop employees working at the now-permanently closed General Porpoise caf茅s to the remaining locations.
