Back in 2017, we reported that one of Boston's most iconic restaurant spaces would become home to a new dining spot and that the person behind a suburban farm-to-table restaurant would be opening the place. Now we have learned more about it as it gets ready to open.
According to a post on her website, Kristin Canty of Woods Hill Table and Adelita in West Concord will be opening Woods Hill at Pier 4 on the Boston waterfront, with the restaurant being an "urbane take" on the original location and "honoring the [Anthony's Pier 4] legacy by providing the Seaport a convivial atmosphere, warm hospitality and sustainably caught seafood." The Pier 4 site indicates that the residential development hopes to open this spring, so the new location of Woods Hill could be opening sometime in the next month or two.
Woods Hill at Pier 4 will be located at the old site of Anthony's Pier 4, which closed for good in the summer of 2013 after being in business for approximately 50 years; the restaurant was once one of the most profitable dining spots in the United States and attracted a variety of celebrities.
[November 14 update: Based on an earlier Tables article in The Boston Globe, Woods Hill at Pier 4 may be on the verge of opening, as the post says it could debut in mid-November.]
[November 20 update: Eater Boston states that Woods Hill at Pier 4 opens on November 26, confirming what The Passionate Foodie had told us earlier.]
