The Reserve (a Champagne Lounge) Is Opening within Boston's Langham Hotel

A champagne lounge is coming to a Boston hotel that is currently being renovated, and the lounge will also feature Boston's first traditional English tea service.

An email from the Langham Hotel on Franklin Street in the city's Financial District indicates that The Reserve will be opening as part of the hotel's renovations to its lobby. The European-style lounge will feature a New American and European-influenced menu that includes items such as house-smoked maple-cured salmon, deviled eggs, lobster salad sliders, croque monsieur, gazpacho, mozzarella pearls with tomatoes, frozen key lime souffle, and flourless chocolate cake, along with an array of champagne, wine and beer options. A continental breakfast will be offered as well, and a traditional Tiffin afternoon tea with servers professionally trained by Wedgwood ambassadors will include loose leaf teas and items such as house-made scones and pastries.

Renovations to the Langham Boston are expected to be finished around Labor Day weekend, so it is possible that The Reserve could be open at that time.

[September 7 update: UrbanDaddy reports that The Reserve is going to be opening on Monday, September 17.]

[September 18 update: The Reserve did not end up opening yesterday; now it looks like the place will not open until sometime next week, according to Eater Boston.]

[November 1 update: A recent email from the Langham Hotel indicates that The Reserve will be opening tomorrow.]

The address for this new hotel lounge (and the hotel itself) is 250 Franklin Street, Boston, MA, 02110. The website for the Langham Boston can be found at http://boston.langhamhotels.com/

Bivalves and Bubbles Coming to Boston's Legal Harborside, October 15, 2011

An event featuring oysters and champagne is on its way to the Boston waterfront, and a well-known street performer from New York will be there.

According to the restaurant's website, Legal Harborside in the Seaport District of Boston will be the site of "Bivalves and Bubbles," which will take place on Saturday, October 15 from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. The event, which will be held on the roof deck of the restaurant, will feature at least eight different varieties of oysters, including from Wellfleet Harbor, Cotuit, and Prince Edward Island, and champagne options will include Gosset Brut "Excellence" and Laurent Perrier Brut. Special guest Robert John Burck--who is also known as the Naked Cowboy--will be at Bivalves and Bubbles, and his brand of oysters (Naked Cowboy Oysters from Long Island Sound) will be available at the event as well.

Tickets to Bivalves and Bubbles cost $80 each, with the price including tax and gratuity.
