(Elk Horn, Iowa) – A restaurant that opened just a few years ago in Elk Horn, has closed its doors permanently. According to a social media post, the Muller family, which owns and runs Grace on Main (formerly known as The Danish Table: Hygge Kitchen) announced Sunday that “After much consideration and prayer [we[ have made the choice to permanently close our doors.”
The notice said also, “We would like to thank everyone who passed through our doors and supported us over the past four + years.” The Mullers said “As we close our doors, we are excited for the opportunities the Lord has put before us.”
Owners Ilee and Michael Muller moved to Iowa from California, where Michael had worked and gained extensive experience in fine dining and bartending. Their restaurant featured many unique offerings and hosted intimate dining experiences for 20 people at different times during the year, called the “Gathering Table,” which featured a select five-course meal.
The family weathered through the pandemic, and health issues before deciding to close their business. The lot where the restaurant resides was formerly home for many years to the Danish Inn Restaurant, before that business closed in 2015, and the building was demolished three-years later.
A new building was constructed on the site that became an instant hit loved by food critics, residents and visitors.
