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
