Ricardo’s granted premises expansion at 5627 Broad St.; approval contingent on Savour’s Class A license surrender
Summary
Trustees approved an updated premises description allowing Ricardo’s to expand into adjacent retail space at 5627 Broad Street for additional waiting and small‑party use; the approval is contingent on surrender of the Class A license held by Savour Food and Guests.
The Village Board approved an updated premises description for Ricardo’s (5627 Broad Street) on March 17, contingent on the surrender of a Class A license currently held by Savour Food and Guests.
A Ricardo’s representative described plans to connect the restaurant to the adjacent retail space to increase the waiting/dining waiting area, offer limited daytime retail sales (bottled wine and merchandise), and provide a multi‑use area for small private parties. The representative said the retail component would operate during daytime hours while the space would function as a waiting area or private-area seating during peak restaurant hours.
A trustee moved to approve the updated premise description for the 2026 licensing year contingent on the surrender of Savour Food and Guests’ Class A license; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call.
Why it matters: the licensing action allows a local restaurant to expand operations and repurpose adjacent retail space, subject to the licensing condition. The board recorded the contingent approval; completion depends on the surrender and administrative processing of the other establishment’s Class A license.
The board approved the contingent premises update; village licensing staff will process the license surrender and update the permitted premise description once that condition is met.
