Thankfully, no guests or staff were hurt over the weekend. The owners shared the update on Facebook, and also took time to give thanks to the first responders and well-wishers.

“We will rebuild, we will be better, we may be down but we are not out,” the post said.

“You have a wonderful community backing you, don’t forget that! With the help of all of us, we will help you rebuild as you are one of the top restaurants in Washington,” one Facebook follower commented on the post.

The fire remains under investigation, according to NJ.com.
