Kitchen Table in Beverly Has Closed

A restaurant on the North Shore that was known for its locally-sourced fare has shut down.

According to multiple sources, Kitchen Table in Beverly is no longer in business, with an Instagram post from the Cabot Street spot saying the following:

With heavy hearts, we have closed the doors of Kitchen Table. To everyone who joined us for dinner, pulled up a seat at the bar, celebrated with us, ordered takeout, or told a friend about us - thank you. Every visit mattered. We built this place around cooking from scratch, sourcing thoughtfully, and taking care of people. Those commitments weren't always the easiest path, but we're proud of the food we served and the hospitality we shared. To our local farmers, fishermen, growers, and producers: thank you for the ingredients, care, and craft you brought through our kitchen doors.

Kitchen Table first opened in the summer of 2023, with chef Bill Fogarty (who had previously been the chef/owner of Scratch Kitchen in Salem) being behind it. The restaurant offered such items as clam chowder, wings, roasted chicken, lemon pepper pollock, roasted pork shoulder, fingerlings, and more.

The address for the now-closed Kitchen Table in Beverly was 392 Cabot Street, Beverly, MA, 01915.

Urban Hearth Opens in New Space in Cambridge's Inman Square

Last fall, it was reported that an award-winning farm-to-table restaurant in Cambridge was making plans to move into a new space, and now we have learned that it is up and running in its new location.

According to its website, Urban Hearth is now open in the former Turing Tavern space on Cambridge Street in Inman Square, with Chef/Owner Erin Miller moving it from its former space on Massachusetts Avenue in North Cambridge. As mentioned in an earlier article here, the new space includes table seating in the dining room, a chef's counter with additional seating, and a full-service bar and "salon" with seating as well, with the chef's counter featuring a multi-course tasting menu while an à la carte menu is offered for patrons in the dining room, bar, and salon.

Boston Magazine mentions that the former Urban Hearth space will be used for private events this summer before opening up around October as a new and more casual restaurant that looks to be a contemporary American bistro.

Since opening in 2016, Urban Hearth has won multiple Best of Boston awards in Boston Magazine, while Miller was recently named a 2025 finalist for the James Beard Foundation's Best Chef, Northeast award.

The new address for Urban Hearth is 1281 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, MA, 02139. The website for the restaurant can be found at https://www.urbanhearth.net/

Ten Tables in Jamaica Plain Is Closing; New Concept Coming to the Space

A longtime neighborhood restaurant in Jamaica Plain that has been known for its locally-sourced seasonal New American fare is shutting down, though the owner of the place will apparently be opening a new concept there.

According to several sources, including posters within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Ten Tables on Centre Street is closing, with a Facebook post from the business saying the following:

After a quarter century of dinners, anniversary celebrations, first dates, and weeknight rituals, it's time to turn the page. Our last service as Ten Tables will be on New Year's Eve, December 31, 2025....I'm closing this chapter with immense gratitude—for every guest who squeezed into one of our tiny table tops, every farmer who showed up at the back door, and every member of our team who poured their heart into this restaurant. In this same beloved space, I’ll be reimagining what comes next: a new concept that honors the intentional, crafted, and change-making purpose that is my passion....Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for 25 unforgettable years at Ten Tables.... — Krista Kranyak (KK), Owner

In addition to the JP location, there had once been a location of Ten Tables in Cambridge as well that was open from 2009 through the end of 2015.

The address for Ten Tables in JP is 597 Centre Street, Jamaica Plain, MA, 02130. Its website is at https://tentables.net/

Urban Hearth in North Cambridge to Move to New Space in Inman Square

An award-winning farm-to-table restaurant in Cambridge is making plans to move into a new space.

According to a press release, Urban Hearth in North Cambridge is planning to move to Inman Square, with Chef/Owner Erin Miller looking at a "reimagined space" to Cambridge Street that includes table seating, a six-seat chef's counter, a full-service bar, and more. It looks like the new location of Urban Heath could be opening in the late first quarter or early second quarter of 2026, and the original restaurant on Mass. Ave. will remain in operation while renovations are made to the new space--and it is slated to become home to a new concept under the same ownership once Urban Hearth completes its move to Inman Square. 

Since opening in 2016, Urban Hearth has won multiple Best of Boston awards in Boston Magazine, while Miller was recently named a 2025 finalist for the James Beard Foundation's Best Chef, Northeast award.

The current address for Urban Hearth is 2263 Massachusetts Avenue while its new address will be at 1281 Cambridge Street; the website for the restaurant is at https://www.urbanhearth.net/

Shirley Is Opening Brick-and-Mortar Space in Somerville's Davis Square, Replacing the Oat Shop

A pop-up in Somerville that focuses on farm-to-table options is moving to a permanent space in another part of the city, and it will replace a cafe that focuses on oatmeal.

According to an article from Eater Boston, Shirley is leaving Bow Market in Union Square at the end of July after being there less than a year in order to open a brick-and-mortar spot in Davis Square, taking over the space on College Avenue that is currently home to the Oat Shop. The post mentions that the new location of Shirley will offer baked goods (including breads), sandwiches, coffee, and "fun drinks" and it will offer vegetarian and vegan options while being 100% nut-free. If all goes as planned, expect to see a mid-August opening for the place.

The Oat Shop, which first opened a bit more than five years ago, plans to close down around the latter part of July, saying in an Instagram post that "We experienced various challenges over the past couple of years including rising costs. It's been an incredibly hard decision and with our lease ending, it feels like the right time to step away."

The address for the upcoming location of Shirley (and the Oat Shop) is 22A College Avenue, Somerville, MA, 02144. The Instagram page for Shirley can be found at https://www.instagram.com/shirleyfarmtotable/ while the website for the Oat Shop is at https://oatshopboston.com/

[July 25 update: A note on the website for the Oat Shop indicates that it closes down on Wednesday, July 27.]

[August 26 update: A new Instagram post from the place indicates that Shirley is now open in Davis Square.]

Update: Rye Tavern in Plymouth Reopens After Closing "Indefinitely"

[Ed note: This article has been updated to reflect the fact that the place is open once again.]

An upscale South Shore restaurant hidden away in an historic spot has opened back up after being shut down for a short time.

According to a Facebook post from the place, Rye Tavern in Plymouth shuttered last week, with the note indicating that it was "closed indefinitely" while saying that "This is breaking our hearts" and hinting that the closure is due at least in part to a lack of workers, stating that they are trying to adequately staff their kitchen. The farm-to-table spot, which is located in a remote area in the Pinehills section of town, had posted that it shut down late last month after a couple of workers tested positive for Covid, though a subsequent post gave hope that it would reopen this week. A poster on the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, this week notes that the restaurant has reopened, with a post from the spot saying that "We are back!" though reservations are not being taken for the time being.

Rye Tavern first opened in the summer of 2011, moving into a structure that dates back to the 1700s and had once been an inn and meeting spot.

The address for Rye Tavern is 517 Old Sandwich Rd, Plymouth, MA 02360. Its website can be found at https://ryetavern.org/

It looks like a New York City-based group of "farm-to-counter" restaurants could be opening a fourth location in Boston.

According to a Twitter post from @danpflock, Dig Inn is apparently looking to open in Fort Point, with the tweet showing an alteration permit that mentions the eatery is seeking to open in a vacant commercial space on Thomson Place. If it does get approval to open there, the new location of Dig Inn would join others at the Pru, on Washington Street in Downtown Crossing and on Boylston Street across from Copley Square.

Dig Inn, which first started out in 2011, offers locally-sourced healthy food options including "market bowls" that have a grain or salad base with items such as chicken, beef, and salmon.

An exact address is not yet known for the new location of Dig Inn at Fort Point, but the permit notice does show an address of 19-39 Thomson Place. (The website for Dig Inn is at https://www.diginn.com/)

Plans for Worthy Kitchen to Open in Brookline Village Have Fallen Through

A highly-anticipated farm-to-table spot with roots in Vermont--and which is known mostly for its burgers and local craft beers--will not be coming to the local area after all.

According to people we talked to at Worthy Burger in South Royalton, VT, plans for their other place--Worthy Kitchen in Woodstock, VT--to open in Brookline Village have fallen through, with the issue apparently having something to do with the building in which it was hoping to move into on Washington Street in Brookline Village. When asked if the team might look at another location for the eatery, we were told that nothing is in the works for now. Plans for the place to come to Brookline were first announced in April of 2016, and at the time, it appeared that it could open as soon as late last year.

Worthy Burger, which first opened in 2012 in an old freight house in South Royalton, quickly became a media and industry darling for its wood-fired burgers and impressive local craft beer list. The following year, Worthy Kitchen opened in Woodstock, with the place offering burgers as well as other comfort food items. Both spots are run by Dave Brodrick (who founded the Blind Tiger in New York), Executive Chef Jason Merrill, and CFO Kurt Lessard.

The address for Worthy Kitchen would have been 202 Washington Street, Brookline, MA, 02445.

Matt and Nancy Sargent Say Farewell to Brewer's Tap & Table in Waltham

The husband-and-wife team that were involved in the recent opening of a dining spot and craft beer bar on "restaurant row" have said farewell to the place.

A series of messages sent to us today indicate that Matt and Nancy Sargent are no longer involved with Brewer's Tap & Table on Moody Street in Waltham, with the two managers of the place now focusing on their "Phantom Dinner" underground dinner business, according to a Facebook post. Matt Sargent also indicates that he and Nancy hope to be involved in another spot at some point, though details about the concept are few for now. (Brewer's Tap & Table will remain in operation.)

Brewer's Tap & Table first opened last November, with the Sargents--who come from Vermont--helping set up the place as a farm-to-table restaurant with an extensive list of local craft beers. The space had formerly been home to Watch City Brewing.

The address for Brewer's Tap & Table is 256 Moody Street, Waltham, MA, 02453. Its website is at https://www.brewerstapandtable.com/ while the website for Phantom Dinner can be found at https://www.facebook.com/pg/GuerrillaDiningMA
