Burtons Grill Group Is Opening the Red Heat Tavern in Wilmington

The folks behind a small local chain of upscale restaurants are going to be opening a brand new dining spot north of Boston.

According to a job post on the Craigslist site, the Burtons Grill restaurant group plans to open the Red Heat Tavern in Wilmington, with the new concept focusing on a "casual approach to modern American cuisine with an open kitchen in an innovative new building." An earlier article from the Wilmington Patch says that the Lowell Street eatery could be opening in March of 2014, while the Craigslist post says early spring.

[March 13, 2014 update: According to a picture posted on Twitter (and confirmed by the restaurant), the Red Heat Tavern opens on March 25.]

The Burtons Grill restaurants offer contemporary American fare in an upscale environment, with the menu including sandwiches, burgers, steak, seafood, and more. Locations of the eateries can be found in Burlington, Hingham, North Andover, Peabody, and Westford, with a few other branches being found in Connecticut, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Virginia. Its website is at http://www.burtonsgrill.com/

The address for the new Red Heat Tavern will be: Red Heat Tavern, 300 Lowell Street (Route 129), Wilmington, MA, 01887.
