Bistro Bar and Grill on Washtenaw Avenue in Pittsfield Township closes for business

The restaurant, located at 4735 Washtenaw Ave., closed more than a week ago, but a sign in the window announced it would reopen on Aug. 15 following kitchen renovations.

However, Tom Gritter of McKinley Inc. — the company that owns the Glencoe Crossing shopping center — confirmed that the restaurant has officially closed for business.

The announcement took employees by surprise, as the closing first appeared temporary and due to renovations.

Early Monday, restaurant manager Victoria Wirwille told AnnArbor.com the restaurant would reopen within a week. After discovering the restaurant would officially close, Wirwille said the details of the change in plans were unclear.

“I wish I knew what was going on,” she said. “I was just told that it was closing.”

The registered owner of the restaurant is Joseph Goychay. He could not be reached for comment.
