Indications have been piling up all week but this afternoon the Press Herald received confirmation that Havana South has gone out of business.
Michael Boland, who opened the restaurant with his wife, Deirdre Swords, in 2010, confirmed the closure today in an email to the Portland Press Herald that was also signed by chef Cassady Pappas. The restaurant’s last day of business was New Year’s Eve.
“We worked long and hard, but in the end it just wasn’t possible to continue financially,” the email read.
