Members of the Wellington Village Council agreed this week to extend the hours of operation for The Grille Fashion Cuisine on South Shore Blvd. and sign off on a cocktail lounge designation for the business, but they also insisted on conditions to protect nearby homeowners.

Council members voted to extend the hours of operation from 11 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They also required that outdoor food and drink service cease by 11 p.m. every day, and barred outdoor entertainment. Additionally, The Grille must undergo a yearly audit and prove that at least 51% of its annual income comes from food sales.
