TURNER FISHERIES OFFERS OUTDOOR DINING FEEL WITH INDOOR DINING CONVENIENCE
 
New "greenhouse" seating area is the perfect spot
to see and be seen this summer

Boston, MA, June 10, 2003 -- The famed Turner Fisheries was closed last summer in order to complete an extensive re-design. Now, with summer once again approaching, guests will have a place to dine with the feeling of being outdoors, but in a fully enclosed area.

The "greenhouse" features seven-foot high French Café bi-fold opening windows overlooking Copley Square, creating a bright and sunny lunch venue. The windows, opened out onto Dartmouth Street, produce just the right amount of breeze to make diners comfortable on the hottest of summer days. And in the evening, it's the perfect place for a romantic, starlit dinner.

"Outdoor dining is extremely popular in a city as highly visited as Boston, especially during the summer months," explains Chef de Cuisine Eric Heinrich. "Everyone wants to eat outside and people-watch. But when that unexpected rain shower or mosquito comes, it's nice that we can offer guests a place where they can feel like they're eating outdoors and avoid the elements that make actually being outside a nuisance."

While enjoying the tradition of outdoor dining in the airy "greenhouse", guests will relish Turner's tradition of offering current, native dishes prepared with only the freshest seafood, purchased daily from local distributors, as well as Turner's Hall-of-Fame clam chowder.

The famed Turner Fisheries has recently re-opened following a three million-dollar renovation. The menu has been revised as well featuring current, native seafood dishes and Turner's Hall-of-Fame clam chowder. The restaurant's new design scheme includes Terrazzo tile from Italy, floor to ceiling mahogany paneling, Hollywood banquettes and seven foot high French Café bi-fold opening windows overlooking Copley Square. The most spectacular addition is the creation of three new private dining rooms, which can accommodate up to 140 people. Turner Fisheries is located at the Westin Copley Place Hotel, 10 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA, 02116. Phone:(617) 424-7425. Visit us at www.turnersboston.com
