Fire officials responded to the fire at Balena Tuesday evening. The fire was put out around 8:45 p.m.
No one was injured and the fire department said no one was found inside when they searched, but Balena’s kitchen and dining rooms did get some extensive damage.
The restaurant will be closed until repairs can be made.
