It was saved from closure in 2019 by a consortium of investors after a previous owner retired and was reopened following the Covid pandemic with chef Iain McCarten in charge.
As recently as Saturday the restaurant's Instagram account had posted an update advertising that tables were still available for that evening.
The Last and Mr McCarten have been contacted for comment.
