BROOKLINE, MA The future of VineRipe Grill, which has operated out of the vendor space at the Robert T Lynch golf course for the past 13 years is still unclear, even as its contract expired at midnight March 31.
After discovering VineRipe might not have its contract renewed in the middle of a pandemic, fans had questions for the decision makers. More than 100 residents packed a Park and Recreation Commission public hearing and pleaded for a course reversal and demanded to know why the public wasn t consulted. The Select Board asked to hear more, too.
The day before VineRipe Grill s contract was set to expire, town officials outlined the process that lead to the vote, and the subsequent push back, all of which was legal, according to the town s attorney.
