Kingfish Hall in Boston's Faneuil Hall Has Closed for Good

The continuing saga of Kingfish Hall in Boston's Faneuil Hall may have taken the last of its twists and turns, as owner Todd English himself now indicates that the seafood spot will likely not be opening up again.

An article in the Boston Globe on Olives in Charlestown (another Todd English restaurant) mentions that Kingfish Hall appears to be finished, with English stating that "There's a new landlord, and I'm trying to renegotiate, but it's probably not going to happen." He continues by saying that "I'll probably just move on from there and look for something else down the road....Things have to change. Twelve years in Faneuil Hall, that's a good run for a restaurant."

[May 16 update: The Boston Globe reports that Todd English is being sued for more than $1 million for "unpaid rent and other charges" stemming from the closure of Kingfish Hall. The article also states that English made the decision to shut the place down back in March.]

Olives reopened late last month after being closed since the spring of 2010 due to a fire.

The address for the now-closed Kingfish Hall was: Kingfish Hall, 188 South Market Building, Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Boston, MA, 02109.

Thanks to Eater Boston for bringing this to our attention.
