Two More Restaurants on the Way: Happy Owl Cafe, Central Grill and Cafe

It looks like a couple more dining spots will be coming to the Boston area, though at this time, very little information can be found on either place.

In Brighton, the Happy Owl Cafe will apparently be opening at the corner of Henshaw Street and Cambridge Street (across from St. Elizabeth's Medical Center), according to a post on the EveryBlock Boston site. The address for the Happy Owl Cafe happens to be the same one as Cafe 57 & Grille, a European-style cafe that opened about a year ago. We are trying to find out if the owners of Cafe 57 & Grille are morphing their restaurant into the Happy Owl Cafe, or whether it is going to be a completely new eatery with new ownership, so keep checking back for updates. [January 31, 2011, update: According to The Allston/Brighton TAB and Wicked Local, The Happy Owl Cafe is now open for business. It is open for breakfast and lunch, with its hours being 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Saturday. The address for the new spot is: Happy Owl Cafe, 5-7 Henshaw Street, Brighton, MA, 02135.)]

In Woburn, The Passionate Foodie mentioned to us that Central Grill & Cafe is going to be opening on Main Street in the downtown area of the city where the Italian restaurant La Stanza Diva used to be until closing this past winter. It was not known for sure whether La Stanza Diva was temporarily or permanently closed when they first went dark several months back, but the sign in the window mentioning Central Grill & Cafe's pending opening confirms that they are indeed gone for good, at least in this space. As for Central Grill & Cafe, little information can be found on the place at the present time, so once again, keep checking back for updates. (The address for Central Grill & Cafe will be 315 Main Street, Woburn, MA, 01801.) [May 19, 2011, update: According to The Passionate Foodie, Central Grill & Cafe is now open. The new spot is a Brazilian restaurant that is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner seven days a week. It also looks like the menu has some Italian dishes as well.]
