Box Park, the Brickell restaurant serving adventurous dishes, is closing its doors as of Sunday, November 10.

An anonymous source tells Short Order the reason behind the abrupt shuttering is a disagreement between partners. Apparently, staff was given a week's notice regarding this turn of events.

Box Park opened this past July as the second in a trilogy of venues. The Hoxton, its sister location, closed in October. The future of Harvey Wolf, the third spot scheduled to open, is as yet, unknown.

Box Park's menu featured bold and inventive items. In a review, New Times' Emily Codik said chef Matt Hinckley's cooking "can transform the wonted into something unique."

The restaurant will be open for dinner tonight, November 9, and for a final brunch tomorrow at noon.

The restaurant tweeted the following:

For reasons beyond our control we will be closing our doors Sunday. Thanks to everyone who has supported us and shown us love.
