Eddie V's Prime Seafood at the Prudential Center in Boston's Back Bay Is Closing

It looks like the Boston location of a group of high-end seafood and steak restaurants is getting ready to close down.

According to a couple of sources (including one within the restaurant industry), Eddie V's Prime Seafood at the Prudential Center in the Back Bay is shutting its doors, with a Facebook post from Boston-based musician David Lieb saying the following earlier this week:

Ok folks, this is it… all things must pass, and I regretfully announce tonight will be the LAST Monday at Eddie V's Boston for the Ron Poster Trio. They are closing the Prudential Center location on Sunday, so we hope to see any and all who can make it. It's been a fantastic run, 3 1/2 years! We'll see you somewhere down the road. The usual … 6:30 - 9:30.

Eddie V's, which first started out in Austin in 2000 and is now headquartered in Orlando, has another restaurant locally in Burlington, which appears to be remaining in operation.

[May 16 update: A check on the place confirms that Eddie V's in the Back Bay is now closed.]

Gatsby's Chop House to Open in the Former Met Bar Space at the Natick Mall

A high-end restaurant may be opening in the western suburbs of Boston this fall.

Update: OAK Long Bar + Kitchen in Boston's Back Bay Reopens After Being Closed for the Winter

[Ed note: This article was updated on April 2 to reflect the fact that the restaurant is open once again.]

A high-end restaurant in the Back Bay that tends to be a particularly popular spot during the holidays has closed for the time being.

According to several sources, OAK Long Bar + Kitchen within the Fairmont Copley Plaza on St. James Avenue has shut down for the winter, with a Facebook post from the place saying that "In response to the pandemic, we made the very difficult decision to temporarily close OAK Long Bar + Kitchen through the winter. We are 'hibernating' with a tentative reopening date of April 1, 2021." The upscale eatery, which replaced The Oak Room eight years ago, is one of many Boston-area spots to go into hibernation as the pandemic continues, though in this case, the hotel will remain open and the restaurant will continue to offer in-room dining service to hotel guests.

The address for OAK Long Bar + Kitchen (and the Fairmont Copley Plaza) is 138 St. James Avenue, Boston, MA, 02116. The website for the hotel can be found at https://www.fairmont.com/copley-plaza-boston/

L'Andana in Burlington to Be Replaced by Mooo...

An award-winning suburban restaurant known for its Italian food and extensive wine list is going to be saying farewell, and it will be replaced by a steakhouse from the same restaurant group.

According to multiple sources, including posters on the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, L'Andana in Burlington is being replaced by Mooo..., with both restaurants being part of the Columbus Hospitality Group and the latter restaurant having a location in Boston's Beacon Hill. A post from BCAT states that renovations to the Cambridge Street space are expected to begin this later summer, with alterations including turning the function room into three separate dining areas while the front section will be opened up so that it has more room for patrons. (No opening date for the new location of Mooo... has been given as of yet, and L'Andana's outdoor patio remains open for now.)

L'Andana, which first opened in 2007, has received high marks over the years from a number of publications, with Boston Magazine including it among its 50 best restaurants in the Boston area in 2010.

The address for L'Andana (and the upcoming Mooo...) is 86 Cambridge Street, Burlington, MA, 01803. The website for the Columbus Hospitality Group can be found at http://columbushospitalitygroup.com/

[December 21. 2021 update: A message from Richard Auffrey of The Passionate Foodie indicates that L'Andana plans to shut down January 1, with an Instagram post from the business saying that Mooo... plans to open in its space in the early spring of 2022.]

[July 11, 2022 update: A Facebook post from the place mentions that the Burlington location of Mooo... hopes to open in the middle of this month.]

Fogo de Chao Churrascaria Plans to Open at the Burlington Mall

It looks like a high-end Brazilian steakhouse chain with one location in Boston may be opening another outlet in the local area, with this one coming to one of the hottest suburbs for dining out.

According to a source, Fogo de Chao is planning to open at the Burlington Mall in Burlington, with a special permit application and a cover letter within the burlington.org site indicating that it would be opening within a section of the former Sears retail space.

Mooncusser Fish House Is Staying Put; Acquires Liquor License from L'Espalier

Earlier this year, it was reported that a high-end seafood restaurant in Boston was in danger of losing its home and that it might have to move. Now we have learned that not only will it remain in its current space, but it has also acquired a liquor license from a legendary dining spot that shut down at the end of last year.

A message sent to us indicates that Mooncusser Fish House will be able to keep its space on Stuart Street, so it apparently won't be replaced by a proposed dispensary after all--and a corresponding press release also mentions that the restaurant has acquired a full liquor license from L'Espalier, allowing it to be able to service cocktails and spirits. (Up until now, the place has only been able to serve beer and wine.) In March, it was announced that Mooncusser might have to move to the former Flash's Cocktails space next door because Patriot Care had been looking to open a dispensary in the restaurant's space.

Mooncusser, which first opened in July of 2017, also has a more casual spot within the space called Moon Bar (which also comes under the full liquor license), as well as Cusser's Roast Beef & Seafood. The website for Mooncusser is at http://www.mooncusserfishhouse.com/

Lumiere in West Newton Is Closing

An award-winning suburban bistro will soon be closing its doors.

The Tables section of The Boston Globe reports that Lumiere in West Newton is planning to shut down for good, with chef/partner Jordan Bailey saying that "We've been there 20 years, and the restaurant has run its course. The market has changed quite a bit as far as upscale stuff goes in the suburbs....It's hard to get out of that box." No specific closing date has been given for the Washington Street dining spot, though it appears that it could say farewell sometime in February.

Lumiere, which first opened in 1999, has been known for being a special-occasion spot featuring dishes with French and regional influences. Previous owner Michael Leviton sold the place to Bailey approximately four years ago, with Bailey being the restaurant's chef de cuisine at the time.

The address for Lumiere is 1293 Washington Street, West Newton, MA, 02465.

[February 4, 2020 update: According to a page within resy.com, Lumiere's "last supper" will take place on February 20.]

[February 4, 2020 update #2: Boston Magazine indicates that the "last supper" for Lumiere won't actually be its last supper, as the restaurant plans to remain open through February 29.]

Nahita in Boston Has Closed; May Be Replaced by New Concept

A fine-dining spot on the eastern edge of Boston's Back Bay has shut down, though it looks like a new restaurant could be replacing it at some point.

According to several sources, including a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Nahita on Arlington Street is locked up and dark and is no longer taking reservations. Another source has confirmed that the restaurant has indeed closed, but D.ream (Doguş Restaurant Entertainment and Management)--which is behind Nahita--may be bringing a new concept to the space, according to the source.

Nahita first opened in September of 2018, offering a variety of Latin-Asian dishes that also had Turkish influences. The restaurant had taken over the space where Liquid Art House had been until it closed in November of 2017.

The address for the now-closed Nahita is 100 Arlington Street, Boston, MA, 02116.

The Hungry I in Boston's Beacon Hill Has Closed

A few months ago, it was learned that a nationally-recognized Beacon Hill restaurant was up for sale, and now we have learned that it appears to have shut down.

Based on a check on the place this week--including phone calls no longer being answered during dinner service and reservations no longer being accepted online, it appeared that The Hungry I on Charles Street was no longer in operation, with a message from the Beacon Hill Civic Association confirming that it has indeed closed. Back in May, it was reported that the restaurant and its building went on the market with its price including its liquor license and entertainment license, but it is not known if it has actually been sold and/or what might become of the space.

The Hungry I, which had been run by Peter Ballarin since 1981, received both local and national recognition over the years, including from TimeOut Boston, USA Today, and Zagat.

The address for The Hungry I was 71 Charles Street, Boston, MA, 02114.

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.)]

Freds at Barneys New York Plans to Open at Copley Place in Boston

It looks like an iconic department store restaurant that is based in New York will be making its way to Boston.

According to an article from CNBC, Freds at Barneys New York is planning to open at Copley Place in the Back Bay, with the restaurant joining five other locations including two in Manhattan. The dining spot dates back to the 1920s when a counter-service eatery opened in the original Barneys location on Seventh Avenue, and today it features mostly American and Italian fare in an upscale environment. If all goes as planned, the new location of Freds at Barneys New York at Copley Place will open in October, and it will feature a "much larger bar space" that will serve as a "focal point" according to CNBC.

The website for Freds can be found at https://www.barneys.com/restaurants/freds

[October 22 update: It looks like Freds at Barneys New York will not be coming to Boston after all, as Universal Hub states (via ABC 7) that all locations of Barneys will be closing (including the Boston outlet) in the wake of a bankruptcy filing by the chain of department stores.]

Zuma Opens at Four Seasons Hotel One Dalton Street in Boston's Back Bay May 28

In late 2017, it was learned that a London-based group of high-end Japanese restaurants would be expanding to Boston's Back Bay. Now the dining spot is just about ready to open.

According to an article from Eater Boston, Zuma is slated to open at the Four Seasons Hotel One Dalton Street on Tuesday, May 28, with the restaurant being an upscale izakaya (basically, a Japanese pub) and grillhouse that offers such items as sushi, salads, robata-style grill items, tempura, oysters, sake, cocktails, desserts, and more. The dining spot--which has no connection to Zuma Tex Mex Restaurant at Faneuil Hall--will reside on the second floor of One Dalton Street, which is a new residential tower across from the Prudential Center.

Eater says that Zuma will initially be open only for dinner Monday through Saturday (with the bar being open at lunch and dinner on weekdays), but that it will add lunch service sometime this summer.

The website for Zuma can be found at https://zumarestaurant.com/

Wolfgang's Steakhouse Plans to Open at One Boston Place in Downtown Boston

by Marc Hurwitz

It looks like a renowned New York-based group of steakhouses will be expanding to the heart of Boston.

A message from @CappyinBoston indicates that Wolfgang's Steakhouse is planning to open at One Boston Place on Washington Street (where it meets State Street and Court Street), with a reference to it on downtownboston.org and an earlier post from CBRE New England seeming to confirming this. Based on its other locations, the new outlet of Wolfgang's could feature a mix of steak, chops, and seafood options along with an extensive wine list.

Wolfgang's Steakhouse started out on Park Avenue in Manhattan in 2004 and now has six locations in New York and New Jersey and one each in Florida, California, and Hawaii as well as ten others overseas. The person behind the restaurants is Wolfgang Zwiener, who worked more than 40 years at the original Peter Luger Steak House in Brooklyn. The original location has garnered much praise over the years, with Frank Bruni saying in a New York Times review that the "rib-eye steak...was many wonderful things at once, or in rapid succession: crunchy, tender, smoky, earthy. It induced a kind of euphoria," while the porterhouse "demanded awe."

The website for Wolfgang's Steakhouse can be found at http://wolfgangssteakhouse.net/

[June 7 update: A post from Universal Hub indicates that Wolfgang's Steakhouse is one step closer to opening in Boston, as the city's licensing board has approved of its plans while also approving of a liquor license transfer from the now-closed Stephi's in Southie.]

Mooncusser Fish House in Boston May Be Replaced by a Dispensary; Could Move to Flash's Space

by Marc Hurwitz

It looks like a high-end seafood restaurant in Boston could be losing its home to a dispensary, though if it happens, it plans to move into a nearby space that had once been home to another dining and drinking spot.

According to an article in the Beacon Hill Times, plans have been unveiled for Patriot Care to open a facility in the Mooncusser Fish House space on Stuart Street, with an earlier Boston Sun article mentioning that if approved, the owner of the restaurant would end up moving the spot to the former Flash's Cocktails space next door with no apparent changes being made to it. If the dispensary gets the green light to open, it could be up and running in November or December, though it is not known when Mooncusser might have to close (keep checking back for updates as they come in).

Mooncusser first opened in July of 2017 and was joined by a more casual space called Moon Bar a month later; the two were joined by Cusser's Roast Beef & Seafood last May.

The current address for Mooncusser is 304 Stuart Street, while the address for the Flash's space is 310 Stuart Street.

Thanks to Universal Hub for bringing this to our attention via a message.
