After two decades serving hearty brunch as Daily Eats, the SoHo staple will close next month to make way for a new concept, owners announced Thursday on social media.

The restaurant at 901 S Howard Ave. will be closed starting June 15 to reopen a few weeks later as Meeting House, “a neighborhood restaurant centered around lunch, dinner and weekend brunch,” per Daily Eats’ post. “A place where guests can ‘meet, eat… and repeat.'”

Daily Eats is part of Ciccio Restaurant Group, which also owns the nearby Green Lemon, Fresh Kitchen, Jay Luigi and other spots throughout Tampa Bay.

Ciccio restaurateur Jason Brunetti told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that weekday breakfast business has been too slow in recent years, attributing the decline partially to the rise of GLP-1s.

“The one meal people are skipping right now is breakfast,” Burnetti told CL. “In this climate and everybody’s dietary needs, it’s hard to make money.”

Meeting House will serve brunch on weekends but focus more on lunch and dinner. The name is an ode to the prior South Tampa staple, Old Meeting House, which ended its 60 year run in the building in 2003.

The Daily Eats staff is staying, along with some of its classic menu items like The Captain Cluck sandwich, its breakfast burrito and burger bowl, Burnetti said.

“SoHo is kind of evolving,” Brunetti said, referencing fellow restaurateur Michael Disser opening retro bar Good Luck Chuck’s in the old SoHo Saloon and Howard & Platt in the former T.C. Choy’s.

Meeting House will reflect that fancier SoHo, shifting from quick service to full service and swapping DE’s iconic orange for comfortable but classy earth tones.

“It’s not going to be high end or anything; It’ll still be a casual setting, but with a nicer backdrop,” Burnetti said.
