This past fall, we reported that a group of high-end steak and seafood restaurants was looking to expand to the Back Bay, and now we have learned that they might be coming to a red-hot suburb of Boston as well.
According to a source, Eddie V's is planning to open in the old Romano's Macaroni Grill space in Burlington, with an article from the Daily Times Chronicle confirming this, saying that the plans are to demolish the South Avenue building and replace it with a new structure that would be home to the new dining spot. (Macaroni Grill shut down last February and now has only one remaining location in New England.) More specific plans for the site will be given over the coming months, so it could be awhile before the new location of Eddie V's opens.
Eddie V's is a small chain of dining spots based in Austin, TX, that is also looking to open at the Prudential Center in Boston, taking over the space where P.F. Chang's had been. [Ed note: Now open.] The group of eateries offers such items as jumbo shrimp, swordfish steak, lobster tails, ribeye, filet mignon, and more.
The address for the upcoming location of Eddie V's in Burlington is 50 South Avenue, Burlington, MA, 01803. Its website can be found at http://www.eddiev.com/
[March 16 update: The Daily Times Chronicle states that the upcoming Eddie V's in Burlington would have seating for 302 and a bit under 10,000 square feet of space, with the old Macaroni Grill building being torn down and the restaurant being housed in a new structure that is a bit closer to the Middlesex Turnpike.]
[February 28, 2019 update: The locations page for the company states that Eddie V's hopes to open its Burlington outlet this spring.]
[July 24, 2019 update: An email mentions that Eddie V's is opening in Burlington on August 2 (this has been confirmed by the locations page above).]
[August 8, 2019 update: According to several sources, Eddie V's is now open in Burlington.]
