Default Google Search Online Destinations - Goes Directly to Nav w/o Option to Click Phone #

I've got a 2012 A8L which is relatively new to me. I love it. I have really liked the Google Search / Online Destinations feature. Right away, I was using it to look-up phone numbers for local restaurants to call and order take-out for the kids, etc. Within the past 10 days, something has changed, though. Now, when I use a voice command like "Google Search Noodles and Company", I get the results list of all the nearby Noodles and Company restaurants as normal. However, when I select the one I want, it used to give me information on that location, including the phone number that I could click to call. Now, though, when I select the one I want, it automatically flies by the information screen right on to route navigation and the map. I never have the option to click the phone number, and I can't find any way to get to the phone number. I don't think I'm doing anything different than I used to. Does anyone know what's going on or have any suggestions on what I can try? I found myself using the phone numbers for local establishments more often than the navigation, so this is driving me crazy a bit. Thank you.

I don't understand why no one is answering this question as it's a great question. I have the same problem, Google voice searches go straight to Start Route Guidance. Now, it may be that this occurs while the vehicle is moving as I have had some measure of success while sitting at a stoplight. OP, try your search while stationary and at least you may get to the phone number you need, though I swear I used to be able to do this in motion as well.
