A rooftop bar and restaurant that both opened months ago in South Boston have been shuttered "for the foreseeable future," the company said in a social media post .

The Essex, located at The Cambria Hotel at 6 West Broadway, announced the sudden closure on Instagram this week.

The lobby-level restaurant had just opened in March, while the rooftop bar, The Essex Rooftop, had opened in May, according to the social media page.

For a few months, The Essex served up dishes like squid ink spaghetti, gazpacho, and za'atar-seasoned fries downstairs. The Essex Rooftop offered small bites such as cocktail shrimp and charcuterie in addition to elaborate beverages.

Here's what The Essex said about the closure of both the restaurant and bar.
