Revolution Hall Is Opening in Lexington; Craft Food Hall Project Behind the Place

It looks like a new food hall is on its way to a Lexington space that has few dining options nearby.

According to a source, Revolution Hall is planning to open October 14 on Maguire Road, which is between Routes 4/225 and Hanscom Field near the Bedford line. A tweet from @bedfordma says that the place is being run by the people behind the Craft Food Hall Project and it will have two outdoor patios--and a "wide selection of craft beers" is expected. A press release for Revolution Hall mentions that it will also be a food hall and that it will include such options as pizza and sous vide options along with functional nutrition and Ayurvedic foods, and there will also be self-pour beer and wine stations and games such as cornhole and table tennis. The release mentions that most of the walls of the place are two-story garage doors with windows and that the ceilings will be 20 feet high (they say that the entire space will have the feel of an "indoor/outdoor tent"), while the ordering system makes use of a QR code and a texting system for picking up food, while beer and wine self-pour stations are used via a "pour card." 

The Craft Food Hall Project includes a food hall at CityPoint in Waltham as well as another location within the Cross Point office complex in Lowell, with the latter food hall being temporarily closed.

The address for Revolution Hall is 3 Maguire Road, Lexington, MA, 02421. The web page for the place can be found at https://www.craftfoodhallproject.com/new-page

Margaritas in Lexington Has Closed

Another location of a local chain of Mexican restaurants has closed.

According to several sources, Margaritas Mexican Restaurant in Lexington has shut down, with a Facebook post from the Bedford Street spot saying that yesterday was its last day, inviting customers to "stop in for one last toast to all of the great memories we've shared with you all." The Lexington location of the chain, which first opened approximately ten years ago, is the second outlet in the local area to shutter over the past year or so, as its Medford location closed its doors toward the end of 2018.

It appears that locations of Margaritas in Framingham, Methuen, Northborough, Revere, and Waltham remain in operation, as well as its other outlets elsewhere in New England and in the Mid-Atlantic states (the chain is headquartered in Portsmouth, NH).

The address for the now-closed Margaritas Mexican Restaurant in Lexington was 438 Bedford Street, Lexington, MA, 02420. The website for the chain is at https://www.margs.com/

(The closing of Margaritas in Lexington was also reported by bedford-business.com)

Clay Oven Is Replacing Lexx in Lexington Center

A couple of months ago, it was reported that an award-winning suburban restaurant was closing, and now we have learned that a new dining spot will be moving in--and retaining some of the former restaurant's menu items.

According to an article from Wicked Local and the Lexington Minuteman, Clay Oven is opening in Lexington Center, taking over the old Lexx space on Mass. Ave. The post mentions that the new eatery will be an Asian fusion spot that offers Indian fare along with "modern twists," and it will also offer dishes that had been served by Lexx, while a post within the jobs section of bostonchefs.com indicates that it will be a casual upscale restaurant. If all goes as planned, Clay Oven could open early this month.

Lexx first opened in 2004, receiving numerous accolades from the local media for its New American fare, wine, and craft cocktails.

The address for Clay Oven (and the now-closed Lexx) is 1666 Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington, MA, 02420.

Update: Artistry on the Green in Lexington Has Become Town Meeting; Artistry on the Green Will Soon Return As Well

[Ed note: This article was updated on December 24 to reflect the fact that Artistry on the Green will be returning.]

A suburban restaurant that is located within an inn has changed its name, though it is not yet known what other changes have come to the space.

According to a poster in the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Artistry on the Green in Lexington is now called Town Meeting, with a note on the website for the Inn at Hastings Park noting the change while indicating that it may be similar to the former restaurant, being a farm-to-table spot that ranges "from a romantic, fine dining experience to a spirited gathering of family and friends and everything in between." We have sent a message to the inn and restaurant and are waiting to hear back from them about any other changes that have come to the dining space, so stay tuned for updates.

Artistry on the Green first opened in the spring of 2014, a couple of months after the inn debuted.

The address for Town Meeting (and the former Artistry on the Green) is 2027 Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington, MA, 02421. The web page for the restaurant can be found at https://www.innathastingspark.com/dining-en.html

[August 1 update: The Tables section of The Boston Globe mentions that Town Hall is a bistro-style spot whose prices are a bit lower than Artistry on the Green, though another new restaurant is also coming to the hotel this fall, and this one will be a fine-dining spot that will have a game-and-produce tasting menu along with wine pairings.]

[December 24 update: A page within its website indicates that Artistry on the Green will be returning to the Inn At Hastings Park as a second restaurant that joins Town Meeting within the space, and that it will be an "exciting new fine dining experience, offering a seasonal four-course tasting menu that changes nightly." (A note sent to us from the hotel awhile back hinted that this would be happening.)]

Lexx Restaurant in Lexington Is Closing

An award-winning suburban restaurant is closing its doors after being in business for 15 years.

According to an article from Wicked Local/The Lexington Minuteman, Lexx Restaurant in Lexington Center is shutting down for good on June 29, with owner Chris Bateman indicating that he is ready to move on, saying that "I've been doing this for 26 years... It's a younger man's game to be honest. Not that I'm not young, but the restaurant business is a grind." The Mass.

Prime Pizza and Subs in Lexington Has Closed; Spice Box Pizza Is Replacing It

A suburban spot that had once been known for its roast beef sandwiches has closed, and it appears that a new restaurant that could feature both pizza and Indian food is replacing it.

According to a source, Prime Pizza & Subs in Lexington is no longer in operation, and a sign is now shown out front for a new place that will apparently be called Spice Box Pizza & Indian Cafe. An earlier Board of Health meeting page indicated at the time that the new eatery might be called Spice Box Curry & Pizza, though it looks like the name went through a slight change along the way.

Prime Pizza & Subs had originally been called Prime Roast Beef & Seafood before an ownership change took place; the original Prime Roast Beef was considered by some to have North Shore-quality roast beef sandwiches, with a blog post from our sister site (Boston's Hidden Restaurants) giving it positive reviews.

The address for the now-closed Prime Pizza & Subs (and the new Spice Box Pizza) is 321 Marrett Road, Lexington, MA, 02421.

[August 6 update: A poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page shows a picture of a grand opening sign out front at Spice Box Pizza, and the poster says that the place apparently had its official opening yesterday.]

Love at First Bite Is Replacing Lemon Grass Thai Cuisine in Lexington

by Marc Hurwitz

A suburban Thai restaurant that has been around for a long time is now closed, and it will be replaced by another Thai spot with an interesting name.

According to a post from The Lexington Minuteman, Lemon Grass Thai Cuisine in Lexington is no longer in operation, with the Mass. Ave. storefront being renovated and its new owners planning to open Love at First Bite in the space. The article mentions that the new dining spot will "blend Thai flavors and American sensibilities," according to one of the co-owners, with the eatery opening in August if all goes as planned.

Lemon Grass had been open since at least the early 1990s, while the space had once been home to a location of Pewter Pot as well.

The address for the now-closed Lemon Grass (and upcoming Love at First Bite) is 1710 Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington, MA, 02420. The website for Love at First Bite will be at https://loveatfirstbitema.com/

[July 11 update: A new article from The Lexington Minuteman indicates that Love at First Bite is one step closer to opening, as the Lexington Board of Selectmen has approved of a transfer of a liquor license from Lemon Grass Thai Cuisine. (The post also mentions that the new spot will open after "extensive" renovations are made, though it is not known if it might still open next month as previously mentioned.)]

[January 6, 2019 update: According to a source, Love at First Bite is planning to open on Friday, January 11, with a check on the restaurant's website confirming this.]
