Plenty of questions surrounding Birmingham s newest potential bistro caused the city s planning board to delay moving the project forward.
The planning board voted during its Feb. 24 meeting to delay a decision on the special land use and final site plan for the proposed Vinewood Kitchen & Cocktails bistro restaurant at 720 N. Old Woodward. The board cited several reasons for the delay, including issues surrounding the outdoor dining, as well as noise coming from the space, among others.
City Planner Nicholas Dupuis said he received complaints from residents who live on the other side of the Rouge River about noise and lights from the building, a concern that popped up with plans to add outdoor seating at the back of the building accompany plans for indoor seating.
