Plenty of restaurants opened in Metro Detroit in 2016, including La Rondinella on Russell Street in Eastern Market and Flowers of Vietnam on W. Vernor in southwest Detroit.

Unfortunately, there were closings as well.

Laura Cassar of Crain's Detroit Business compiles a list. Here's a sampling:

Peabody's on Woodward Avenue in Birmingham

Moo Cluck Moo in Dearborn Heights and Canton. It plans to operate as a food truck. 

Bagger Dave's, a Berkley-based chain, closed its downtown Detroit and seven other locations 

St. Cece's on Trumbull Avenue in Corktown

El Zocalo on Bagley Avenue in Southwest Detroit 

See the full list here.
