A message sent to us today indicates that the owners and operators of Stoddard's Fine Food & Ale on Temple Place are taking over Vanderbilt Kitchen & Bar on Water Street, with the plan being to close the place for a short time to make some minor renovations and reopen it under its new ownership sometime in June. Once it reopens, expect a concept that is fairly similar to that of Stoddard's, with classic and New American food offered along with local craft beers, vintage cocktails, and more.
Vanderbilt Kitchen & Bar resides in a former bank building and had been called The Vault until changing its name in the spring of 2015.
The address for Vanderbilt Kitchen & Bar is 105 Water Street, Boston, MA, 02109.
[June 14 update: According to a Facebook post, Vanderbilt Kitchen & Bar plans to reopen under new ownership on Tuesday, June 20.]
