The Brookline TAB is reporting that Fairsted Kitchen is planning to open in the former Umami space on Beacon Street in the Washington Square section of town. The article says that Steve Bowman (Menton, Russell House Tavern), who is behind the proposed eatery along with business partner Andrew Foster, gets the name from the estate of landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, which is on Warren Street near the Brookline Reservoir. It appears that the cuisine at Fairsted Kitchen will be "classic Americana" with North African, Israeli, and Eastern European influences, according to the TAB.
The Brookline Board of Selectmen will look at Bowman's request for a liquor license transfer next week; if all goes well, the article says that Fairsted Kitchen could be open by "next fall."
