Towne Stove and Spirits Opening in the Back Bay

A new dining spot that has a couple of well-known chefs behind the scenes is getting ready to open in the Back Bay.

According to an article in the Boston Globe, Jasper White and Lydia Shire are overseeing the menu for the upcoming Towne Stove and Spirits, which is going to be opening as early as later this month at the Hynes Convention Center on Boylston Street. Towne looks to be an upscale spot featuring an eclectic mix of dishes, including tandoori meats, pasta, dumplings, steaks, Peking chicken, and lobster, according to the Globe article. The article also mentions that Towne will have seating for 380 (300 inside and another 80 outside), with three dining areas and three bars throughout its two floors that encompass nearly 15,000 square feet of space.

The restaurant appears to be nearly ready to open, but we have not yet heard of a specific opening date. As soon as we do, we will post an update here.
