A new restaurant with Southwestern influences is hoping to open in the western suburbs.
According to an article from The Swellesley Report, Lockheart is planning on opening on Central Street in Wellesley Square, with Derek Brady--who has been involved with such spots as Union Street, Causeway, Osushi, and The Draft--being behind it. The post mentions that the upcoming eatery will be a "southwestern-themed tacos-plus restaurant" and that it received approval to open from a "wary" Select Board in which board members were concerned about violations that restaurants Brady has been involved in have received. Brady did stress that he wanted to focus on being able to operate a suburban family restaurant, saying that "it's difficult to run a lot of the restaurants that I have but that's not the type of area that I think we're looking at to do something here and that's not the type of restaurant that I'm looking to do in this town....They're two different animals."
The address for Lockheart in Wellesley Square is 102 Central Street, Wellesley, MA, 02482. Its website can be found at https://lockheartwellesley.com/
[July 15, 2022 update: According to a source, Lockheart is now open, with its menu including a variety of tacos along with salads, bowls, snacks, and large plates.]
