Steelfish Grille in Bel Air closes, second restaurant from owners to close within year

Another restaurant closure has hit Maryland, this time in Bel Air. Steelfish Grille, located at 660 Boulton St., announced on its Facebook page that it is abruptly closing after 14 years. 

"It is with a heavy heart that we need to announce the immediate closure of SteeleFish Grille. We would like to thank this wonderful community for all of your support over these past 14 years. It has been our to pleasure serve you," the restaurant said in the post Tuesday.  

Comments posted on Facebook were filled with loyal customers asking why and praising the Harford County staple for its delicious dishes. 

"How come?" wrote one user.

"Those fried green tomatoes and champagne sauce was the best I ever tasted," said another. 

Many locals are in disbelief, because locally owned businesses put so much money back into the community.

"It's going back into your community, it continues to go to the community, it continues to add things to the community that are needed," one resident told CBS News Baltimore.

The same owners announced last year the closure of their beach style restaurant, called Sunset Cove, in Middle River.

Nearby, Hickory Lodge, also owned by the same people, remains open for business. 

CBS News Baltimore has reached out to the owners, but they could not be reached for comment.
