Michelle Moran Expanded outdoor dining area approved for Luxe in Grosse Pointe Farms Advertisement GROSSE POINTE FARMS — For restaurants around the country, increasing the amount of space permitted for outdoor dining has been a lifeline during the COVID-19 pandemic. Luxe Bar and Grill, at 115 Kercheval Ave. on the Hill in Grosse Pointe Farms, hopes to take advantage of more outdoor dining area by converting two on-street parking spaces in front of the restaurant into a dining platform. “I believe this would be beneficial for both the city and us as a business,” Luxe owner Erion Balla said.
