The Yours Truly restaurant in Hudson is temporarily closed after a morning fire forced the evacuation of employees and about 50 customers.
Art Shibley, one of four owners of the restaurant at 36 S. Main St., said he hopes to reopen the eatery by the middle of this month.
Hudson fire officials suspect an electrical problem triggered the fire, which began in the kitchen, Shibley said.
Firefighters responded to Shibley's call shortly after 8 a.m., according to a news release issued by Hudson Fire Chief Bob Carter.
The fire was under control by 8:45 a.m.
Shibley said that the restaurant's acoustical tile ceiling was damaged by smoke and will be replaced.
''There wasn't much damage. It's all just the smoke. We have to pull down the ceiling,'' Shibley said.
Firefighters were called after Shibley, along with others at the restaurant, smelled smoke. A total of 23 firefighters responded to the call.
''We couldn't tell where it was coming from,'' said Shibley, who was in the dining room when he smelled smoke.
Firefighters found the fire in a wall and ceiling in the kitchen, according to the news release.
Damage was estimated at $150,000. No one was injured.
Shibley plans to announce when the restaurant is reopening on the eastery's Web site: http://www.ytr.com.
