With the closing of Macy's in downtown Minneapolis in March, diners will no doubt want to make a pilgrimage to the building's 12th floor and pay their respects to the 69-year-old Oak Grill.

Plan ahead and move quickly, because the restaurant is closing for good at 3 p.m. on Jan. 27. Starting Jan. 9, the restaurant will be open 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Reservations are being accepted at OpenTable.com.

Also closing on Jan. 27: the 12th-floor Skyroom and the lower level Signature Kitchen.
