Rue Dumaine’s move to its new location in the Austin Landing development in Miami Twp. has been pushed back to early 2014, according to the restaurant’s co-owner and executive chef, Anne Kearney. Austin Landing’s developer initially said the restaurants would open as early as spring 2013.

“Our plans to relocate to Austin Landing are still very much a reality; however the timeline has been adjusted to better suit our needs,” Kearney said in a weekly email to Rue Dumaine’s customers. “We are planning our eventual move to take place in the late winter/early spring of 2014.”

The shift in the timetable was initiated by RG Properties, the developer of the Austin Landing project, but will cause no hardship and will give Kearney and her husband and Rue Dumaine co-owner Tom Sand more time to plan for the move, Kearney said.

“We’re doing fine where we are,” she said of the restaurant at 1061 Miamisburg-Centerville Road in Washington Twp. In addition to relocating Rue Dumaine, Kearney and Sand will open a second, more casual restaurant called Alligator Annie’s in Austin Landing.

A spokeswoman for RG Properties declined comment Monday. In the developer’s initial announcement in January about Rue Dumaine, Alligator Annie’s and an Irish Pub also coming to Austin Landing, RG Properties said the company was “looking toward a spring of 2013 opening date.”

Steve Tieber — a co-owner of the Dublin Pub in Dayton and part of a partnership that will open the Dublin 7 Whiskey Pub and Carvery in the southern Montgomery County development — said he and his partners originally anticipated an October 2013 opening, but now, “We hope to be in there before the end of 2013.” Tieber’s partners in the project include the owners of Archer’s Tavern in Centerville, Dan Apolito and Mike Fullenkamp. Apolito referred questions about the Austin Landing project to Tieber.

“We’ll wait as long as it take to ensure it’s done right,” Tieber said. “We’re still committed, and we’re still very excited about the project.”

Earlier this month, Miami Twp. officials said a Panera Bread restaurant with a drive-through is also part of the Austin Landing plans.
