Locke-Ober, a dignified old-Boston restaurant that has been popular with businesspeople and the wealthy for well over a century, has decided to stop serving lunch for the time being. According to both the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald, this Downtown Crossing institution has been hit by the economic recession as so many other restaurant have, and will serve only dinner for now, though they do hope to start lunches back up sometime this year.
Locke-Ober, which is located on Winter Place between Washington Street and Tremont Street near the Boston Common, has been serving diners since 1875 and remains one of the most well-known restaurants in Boston. Its menu features a raw bar as well as a variety of steak, pork, chicken, seafood, and lamb dishes.
