Ashmont Grill
The Ashmont Grill is now open for business and
business is brisk. If you are planning on coming for dinner come
early or plan for a wait. While they are unable to take reservations
for parties of any size, if you arrive early or after 8 o'clock
they can usually get you right down. Their garden patio is still
open. The roaring fire and the addition of some new heaters and
polar fleece throws make it quite cozy. Located in Peabody Square
at the intersection of Dorchester Ave, Ashmont Street and Talbot
Ave just north of the Ashmont T stop. There's something innately
appealing about a restaurant that has milk and hot dogs on the
menu alongside more upscale offerings such as espresso, grilled
squid with spicy aioli, and a flourless chocolate torte. It says:
We want you to be comfortable, we want you to bring your kids,
but we know something about fine dining, too. And if the place
has warm lighting and just the right mix of reggae and soul on
the stereo, the food is tasty and reasonably priced, and the people
are friendly and funny, well . . . it doesn't get much more appealing.
