Blackbird became the foundation on which Kahan, Madia, Seitan and Diarmit built One Off Hospitality, a restaurant group that includes Avec, Big Star, Dove’s Luncheonette, the Publican, Publican Quality Meats and the Violet Hour, the cocktail lounge that won the JBF Outstanding Bar Program in 2015. All those restaurants remain in business, Madia and Kahan said, but Cafe Cancale, the group’s most recent restaurant (which opened in May 2019), is also closing permanently.
