The restaurant's last service will be July 2.
"We are in our 14th year. We are having one of our busiest years in a long time," Smith said.
On Friday night, diners were taking advantage of the steaks and seafood on the menu.
“We are excited to give our regulars and folks who have not given us a try and opportunity to come visit us,” Smith said.
"The timing was good, and the new owners, who have been great to work with, made us an offer to end our lease early, and it just seemed right for my wife and I," Smith said.
Naomi Vining brought her friends to the restaurant Friday.
“I am sad,” she said. “They have never been here. This is my last time.”

People who don’t get a chance to eat at 18 Seaboard can find some of the food at Harvest 18.
“You’ll see a lot of the dishes from 18 Seaboard transition onto that menu if they haven’t already,” Smith said.
