The Venus de Milo restaurant and banquet hall remains open for business.

A civil hearing between the owners of the Venus de Milo restaurant and the Swansea Board of Health was not heard as scheduled on Thursday, May 28, after attorneys for owner Monte Ferris Jr. voluntarily dismissed their civil action.

The matter, to be heard in Bristol County Superior Court, was a hearing on a preliminary injunction that has kept the iconic restaurant and banquet hall open despite recent orders from the Swansea Board of Health suspending its food license and demanding it cease and desist from operating.

The Bristol County Superior Court Clerk Magistrate’s office said the hearing had been taken off the day’s list of cases and would not be heard.
