Walnut Grille to Move into Former Christina's Space in Newton Highlands

A new restaurant is coming to a neighborhood of Newton, and it will moving into the space where another eatery had been.

A Twitter post sent by the Brand New Watch blog of Wicked Local Waltham mentions that the Walnut Grille is coming to Newton Highlands, with a City of Newton public meeting page indicating that it will be opening in the former Christina's spot (Brand New Watch has confirmed this). The photo in the Twitter post shows that the new dining spot will feature "a vegetarian and vegan experience" while the City of Newton post implies that it is planning to be open for lunch and dinner daily.

[February 28 update: The Newton Patch is reporting that the Walnut Grille is opening tonight, with the restaurant starting lunch service next week (and brunch will soon be offered on weekends). The article also says that beer, wine, and liquor will be available starting next week.]

Christina's was a cafe-style bistro that first opened in July of 2011. A Dunkin' Donuts had been in the space previous to that.

The address for this upcoming restaurant in Newton Highlands is: Walnut Grille, 1203 Walnut Street, Newton, MA, 02461.
