Noche Opening in the South End

An upscale restaurant and lounge is coming to the South End, moving into the space where a popular dining spot had been for more than 30 years. According to a job posting on the Craigslist site, Noche is looking at a May opening on Appleton Street, and is aiming to be a "fine dining restaurant and bar, [catering] to the affluent late night crowd." Noche will reside in the spot where the New American restaurant Icarus resided from 1978 until last year, when it closed.

[June 22 update: According to the Thrillist Boston site, Noche is planning on opening today.]

Boston Nightlife Ventures, the group behind Noche, mentions on their website that the new restaurant will focus on eclectic American fare, with their full menu being offered until midnight. The group is also behind The Tap on Union Street near Faneuil Hall and The Federal on Cambridge Street in the Beacon Hill neighborhood.

The address for this restaurant and lounge in the South End is: Noche, 3 Appleton Street, Boston, MA 02116.
