A local group of restaurants has gotten a bit smaller, as its South Boston location has closed after being in business for approximately five years.
According to a Twitter post from @maureencaught, Stephi's in Southie on West Broadway has shut down, though it appears that Stephanie's on Newbury in the Back Bay and Stephi's on Tremont in the South End both remain in operation. Eater Boston indicates that this appears to be part of a consolidation after the recent merging of Stephanie's Restaurant Group and the Met Restaurant Group into Sidell Hospitality, with Stephanie Sokolove saying that "While it's always an emotional moment leaving a neighborhood you've been part of, the changes that are coming to the group are both positive and needed....The goal since we unified at the top of the year was to combine teams, solidify our flagship locations on Newbury Street in the Back Bay and bring the family of brands to new levels expanding on some new opportunities....We're excited at what 2019/20 will bring to Boston and beyond."
Stephi's in Southie first opened in September of 2013, offering upscale comfort food items such as lobster guacamole, a fried chicken sandwich, steak frites, macaroni and cheese, bolognese, and baked haddock.
The address for this now-closed restaurant in South Boston was: Stephi's in Southie, 11 West Broadway, South Boston, MA, 02127.
