Vine Brook Tavern Is Opening in Lexington

A new restaurant that will feature classic American comfort food is planning to open in Lexington Center.

The Lexington Minuteman is reporting that the Vine Brook Tavern is going to be opening on Waltham Street, taking over the space where a location of the Buca di Beppo chain had been until closing down in January of this year. The article indicates that the two-story place will be a family-friendly dining spot with booths big enough for larger groups and a menu that focuses on classic American fare, including an extensive children's menu. The first floor of the Vine Brook Tavern will have a bar (with an array of wines and craft beers available), while the second floor will be the main dining area. The Minuteman also mentions that a "big name chef" from another restaurant will be in charge of the kitchen.

The Vine Brook Tavern could be open by the middle of October, according to the article.

[November 27 update: Grub Street Boston has confirmed what MouseChow told us a few days ago, that Vine Brook Tavern is now open for business. The owner of Vine Brook is Marcus Palmer (Market), while Chris Frothingham (Met Bar) is the executive chef.]

The address for this new restaurant in Lexington Center is: Vine Brook Tavern, 20 Waltham Street, Lexington, MA, 02421. Their website is at http://vinebrooktavern.com/
