Ark Restaurants’ Bryant Park Grill and sister brands may finally be evicted from their New York City locations in October, the company said Monday. But the group’s core concepts, including Bryant Park Grill, Bryant Park Café and The Porch at Bryant Park have spent years mired in a legal battle over the leases there. In 2025, the private nonprofit that oversees Bryant Park attempted to evict Ark Restaurants from the park-adjacent restaurant locations, announcing at the time that Jean-Georges Restaurants and Seaport Entertainment Group had won a bid to operate the venues. In July, however, the court sided with the landlord to evict the Ark concepts, though a stay was granted pending an appeal. “Management, after consultation with legal counsel, is unable to predict the outcome of the appeal or related proceedings at this time,” the company said.
