No news is good news for Sylvester’s North End Grille?

A year later, and there's no opening date planned yet for Sylvester's in Jackson Township.

Sylvester’s North End Grille, at 4305 Portage St. NW in Jackson Township, remains closed a year after the building was hit by a car.

Updates to Sylvester’s Facebook page have shown that the restaurant plans to reopen, with a comment from Sylvester’s account saying, “Dealing with insurance claims of this magnitude takes time.. we are moving forward to rebuild and hope to be open by October.”

But after several attempts to connect, Sylvester’s would not respond for comment.

The restaurant is still encased with the sign, missing a few letters, which reads “Drun(k) dri(v)er. Temporarily close(d). Uber.”
