Take a sip of this story, brought to you by SoulBoxer – quality, ready-to-drink cocktails that promise less time making, more time drinking. Put a little soul in your life, Milwaukee.

After almost four years, to the day, in business, Wayward Kitchen Co., 1407 S. 1st St., quietly closed last week. The Walker’s Point restaurant specialized in "new American" food for lunch, brunch and dinner and also offered a special service industry brunch.

Owners Megan and Tyler Mason decided not to renew their lease and plan to hopefully open another business in the future. The couple posted this on Facebook:

''We want to thank everyone for a great 4 years! Family & friends & all the folks we met along the way. We have a break in our lease & will be moving onto the next adventure (in a smaller space, seriously!) Cheers! Stay tuned for the next project … "

Megan went on to say in a later conversation, "We are going to take some much needed time off until the New Year. I'm gonna clean my house and get my plates renewed. ... You know, all the fancy things in life."

Stay tuned to OnMilwaukee for information about the Masons’ next project and for new tenants in the space.
