An historic Boston restaurant that temporarily closed its doors around the beginning of the year has apparently re-opened, though it appears that no tables are available until this coming weekend.
A poster on the Chowhound site has mentioned that according to The Improper Bostonian, Locke-Ober on Winter Street is open once again. A check on the restaurant's website indicates that the site is fully functional, and a check on OpenTable shows that tables at Locke-Ober are available starting Saturday, April 2. OpenTable is only showing tables available from 5:30 PM on over the next couple of weeks, so it is possible that the eatery is only open for dinner for now (we will try to get an update on this as soon as possible).
[April 6 update: According to The Boston Globe, Locke-Ober is planning to open to the public on Friday, April 8. As indicated above, the restaurant will indeed only be serving dinner for now, but it hopes to start serving lunch sometime this fall. The Globe also mentions that the menu will be re-vamped, with healthier options available.]
Locke-Ober closed its doors in January of this year, with word coming out after their closing that the person who used to run the operations of the high-end dining spot took control of it once again. We are still waiting to see if restaurateur and chef Lydia Shire will continue to be involved with the restaurant (again, stay tuned for updates).
Locke-Ober, which has been in business since 1875, features mostly classic American fare such as steak, seafood, chicken, pork, and lamb dishes.
The address for Locke-Ober is: Locke-Ober, 3 Winter Place, Boston, MA, 02108. The phone number is (617) 542-1340. And their website can be found at: http://www.lockeober.com/
