A bit less than a year ago, it was reported that a new restaurant might be coming to a space in a residential part of Beacon Hill, and now we have learned that these plans appear to have fallen through, as new plans for a dining spot are now in the works there.
According to an article from Universal Hub, antiques dealer Kristin Jenkins is looking to open an as-of-yet unnamed "neighborhood American bistro" in the old Lala Rokh space on Mount Vernon Street, while her life partner (and local restaurateur) Aaron Sells will be helping out as well. The post mentions that the proposed eatery will have "the ambiance of a private club" and that the menu will include steak, seafood, and pasta dishes as well as beer and classic cocktails.
Last March, it looked like an Italian and Mediterranean restaurant called Il Maestro might open in the Lala Rokh space, though that never came to be. (Lala Rokh, which featured Persian fare, closed down in 2018.)
The address for this new restaurant in Beacon Hill is 97 Mount Vernon Street, Boston, MA, 02108. Its website is at https://1928beaconhill.com/
[August 3 update: A tweet from @BOSFoodTours indicates that a sign is now up for the upcoming restaurant and that it will be called 1928 Beacon Hill, while a check at the site itself over the weekend confirms this as well.]
[December 16 update: The website for the place indicates that 1928 Beacon Hill is now open and its menu includes such items as deviled eggs, warm olives, tuna tartare, oven roasted chicken, arctic char, cacio e pepe, braised short ribs, and a variety of beers, wines, and cocktails.]
