Boston Magazine is reporting that Cafe ArtScience is going to be opening on Kendall Street, with Todd Maul (Clio), Patrick Campbell (Eastern Standard, No. 9 Park), and Tom Mastricola (Commonwealth, Clio) teaming up with David Edwards (founder of Artscience Labs, Harvard University professor) to open the restaurant. The new spot will have a 120-seat dining area and 23 more seats at the bar, with the menu possibly focusing on "smaller composed dishes" that are sized between tasting portions and appetizers. The article also says that the restaurant will have a test kitchen that will be open to the public on certain Sundays, and the cocktail list will likely be quirky and experimental.
Expect to see Cafe ArtScience open sometime in September, according to Boston Magazine.
