History

edit

Tercet opened in November 2021, following a rebrand of the seafood restaurant Roe, which closed in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] John Conlin, who was the last head chef at Roe,[8][9] and Wyatt VandenBerghe were chefs at Tercet, and Michael Branton was the sommelier.[2]

In November 2023, Conlin announced plans to close Tercet permanently.[2]
