For the last 16 and a half years, there's been a spot downtown that was the perfect location for a date-night, celebratory dinner, or just a quick night out with a good meal. Now, that spot is closing down.

The Phoenix in Davenport announced very early Tuesday morning that they would no longer continue operations.

"Serving you has been a privilege, and we want to thank everyone who has walked through our doors, shared a meal with us, and supported our team along the way. We are deeply grateful for every one of these 16.5 years and for the countless memories created at The Phoenix," the announcement said.

It's not made clear what the reasoning for closing the restaurant is, or when the last day will be, but they did say this will hopefully not be a goodbye for good.

"While this chapter is coming to a close, we hope this may not be goodbye forever," the restaurant wrote on Facebook. "We may open again in the future, and we will be sure to share any updates when the time is right."

The Phoenix made a name for themselves with an upscale atmosphere, steaks, seafood, and who could forget the bourbon pork steak?

Their Saturday night piano entertainment was a date night staple for many in the area.
