An historic lakeside venue known in part for events such as weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries has now become a restaurant of sorts as the COVID-19 pandemic has caused it to reconcept for the time being.
According to an article from Wicked Local, Lake Pearl in Wrentham has opened the Tree Top Restaurant for dinner on Fridays and Saturdays, using the Tree Top Room--which is often used for wedding receptions--along with its two-tiered outdoor dock, both of which have views of the lake below. The post mentions that the dining spot offers food with "classic European and contemporary" influences, with options including fried calamari, bruschetta, oysters Rockefeller, ravioli, shrimp scampi, chicken parmesan, pan-seared sea scallops, New York sirloin, chicken and waffles, burgers, grilled salmon, and more.
Juliana Lorusso, who is director of marketing and events at Lake Pearl, gives the reasoning behind opening the Tree Top Restaurant, saying that "Unfortunately, the pandemic really hit our industry harder than most. We knew we had to continue coming up with fresh ideas because we are unable to host our typical weddings and events....It's definitely been challenging, but luckily our ownership and management team has much experience with restaurant-style dining, so we are well prepared for this new venture." (In addition to being a function space, Lake Pearl has also been known for its Sunday brunches as well, which are open to the general public.)
The address for Lake Pearl and the Tree Top Restaurant is 299 Creek Street, Wrentham, MA, 02093. The website for the space can be found at https://www.lakepearl.com/

The Fix Burger Bar Is Opening in the Former Allora Ristorante Space in Marlborough
A Worcester spot that is known for its burgers, beers, spiked milkshakes, and cocktails will be expanding eastward, opening at a lakeside space that had been home to an upscale Mediterranean restaurant.
According to an article from Wicked Local, The Fix Burger Bar is planning to open in Marlborough, with the place taking over the former Allora Ristorante space on Route 20. The post says that Niche Hospitality Group, which is behind The Fix Burger Bar, also runs a number of other spots in Worcester, including Bocado Tapas Wine Bar, Mezcal Tequila Cantina, Nonna's Pizza + Pasta, Railers Sports Tavern, and Steam Energy Cafe, along with Rye & Thyme American Tavern in Leominster.
Allora closed in February after being in business for approximately 12 years.
The address for the upcoming Fix Burger Bar in Marlborough is 139 Lakeside Avenue (Route 20), Marlborough, MA, 01752. The website for the original location in Worcester can be found at https://www.thefixburgerbar.com/
[December 11 update: The website for the business indicates that The Fix Burger Bar hopes to open in Marlborough this winter.]
[January 22, 2020 update: According to a source, The Fix Burger Bar soft-opens in Marlborough tomorrow (Thursday, January 23), with a post from Niche Hospitality Group saying that its official opening to the public will take place on Monday, January 27.]
