Update: Sam's Bistro Opening in Reading

It looks like Stearns and Hill's Bistro, an upscale restaurant and bar located in the center of Melrose, will be opening a new restaurant in nearby Reading. According to the owner of the restaurant (who was interviewed on Fox 25 News this morning), the restaurant will open where the now-closed Wayside Bazaar resided on Main Street (between Route 128 and Reading Center).

A specific opening date is not known at this time, nor is the exact name of this new restaurant. As more details come in, we will post an update on this site.

[December 23 update: According to Wicked Local/The Reading Advocate, The Boston Globe, and a poster on Chowhound, the restaurant will be called Sam's Bistro. The Globe article states that Sam's will have a capacity of 150 and a full bar, and should be open by the spring of 2010.]

[July 14, 2010 update: According to a poster on Chowhound, Sam's Bistro is now open. The address for this new restaurant in Reading is: Sam's Bistro, 107 Main Street, Reading, MA, 01867. The website can be found at http://www.samsbistro.com/]
