Earlier this year, it was reported that a new restaurant was looking to open in a western suburb of Boston with very few dining options, only to have it fall through. Now we have learned that another dining spot is planning to open in the space.
According to a source, The Tack Room is planning to open in Lincoln, taking over the space on Lincoln Road that had been home to Real and before that, Lincoln Kitchen and AKA Bistro. An article from The Lincoln Squirrel mentions that the restaurant will have a rustic atmosphere and offer "elevated comfort food" that is reasonably priced and that it will be open for lunch, dinner, and brunch, with craft beer available (pending approval from the state Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission) along with a children's menu. The post says that Michael Culpo--who tends bar at Lulu's in Allston and is part-owner of the Black Oak Kitchen & Drinks in Coventry, RI--is behind the restaurant, which could be opening around Christmas if all goes well.
As mentioned earlier here, a dining spot called Turenne had been looking to open in the space, but those plans ended up falling through.
The address for The Tack Room is 145 Lincoln Road, Lincoln, MA, 01773. Its website is at https://www.tackroomlincoln.com/
[February 22, 2022 update: According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, The Tack Room is now open.]
