While we can mourn the loss of Lumiere, we have a name for the new concept moving in where Coney Island had been. It’s called Flora’s and I missed the post on Boston Restaurant Talk when it hit a few weeks back, but it looks to be a 20-seat concept that, according to a Craigslist jobs ad, is ” brought to you by co-owners formerly of Mei Mei Restaurant, Towne and Liquid Art House.” They say their goal is a place that will focus “on hospitality, guest interactions and communication and developing a relationship with the local community!”
According to Amy Sangiolo’s site, they applied for an annual entertainment license from the city.
Coney Island closed? When?
@Terry at the end of June, the owners retired.
The owner, Corey Fletcher, seems very interested in becoming a part of the West Newton community. Currently, he operates “The Beer Mobile”: https://massbrewbros.com/your-party-gets-real-with-the-craft-beer-mobile/
It’s a very small space! Sounds like it could be a good addition, though. Hopefully something goes into Lumiere and the old Shing Yee soon.
