Here's the update on the corner restaurant at 34 Railroad Avenue, anchoring the $30 million Greenwich Crossing redevelopment: Planning & Zoning gave unanimous, 5-0 approval this week to an amended site plan and special permit, according to the approved filing.
The approval expands the restaurant from 112 dining seats to 130 dining seats plus a new 20-seat bar — 150 seats total, a real jump for one of the most visible corners on Railroad Avenue.
The restaurant operator still has not been publicly identified.
What the vote doesn't settle is the question everyone on this corner actually wants answered: who's running it. The restaurant operator still has not been publicly identified, and nothing in the approved plans names a tenant.
The seat expansion itself signals a restaurant built for a bigger crowd than the original plan — likely something closer to a destination spot than a quick corner café, given the bar addition alone. But until an operator surfaces, that's reading tea leaves rather than reporting fact. We'll update this story the moment a name is confirmed.
