The Newton-Needham Chamber of Commerce held its annual 'Spring Seasonings' event on Monday, May 6. A sellout crowd packed the Newton Marriott to sample food from dozens of Newton and Needham restaurants.
Popular Chinese restaurant Bernard's has reopened at THE STREET in Chestnut Hill. Patch spoke to General Manager Allan Lam and bartender Tim Tighe about what makes the restaurant such a local hotspot.
When Bernard’s closed its doors at the Mall at Chestnut Hill, a nearly audible cry of dismay arose from around Newton and Chestnut Hill. Longtime patrons of the popular Chinese restaurant wondered where they would dine locally for their favorite Asian dishes. During Patch's interview earlier this week, a customer came in to the restaurant (which had not yet opened for the day) and spoke to the gentleman manning the front desk. “So, are you really open now?” she inquired. When this was confirmed, she continued, “I’m so glad! When I went to the Mall (at Chestnut Hill) and saw that you had closed, my heart just sank. But then I saw the big red sign out front here, and I came in to make sure it was true. I am so glad you are back!” And they …

The "gourmet Asian" restaurant was previously located in the Mall at Chestnut Hill.
Months after the popular Bernard's restaurant closed at the Mall at Chestnut Hill, the "gourmet Asian" eatery has finally reopened next door at The Street. The restaurant opened Tuesday, April 16, according to The Street Facebook page and website. It is located in the new building recently constructed at 55 Boylston St., next to the new City Sports and below Sports Club/LA.

According to The Street's website, Bernard's offers Asian cuisine with "only the freshest ingredients and the finest aromatic spices…

It is easily the question readers ask us the most: What's happening with The Cheesecake Factory at the former Atrium Mall in Chestnut Hill? Last summer, Simon Properties sold the ailing Atrium Mall to Needham-based Bulfinch Cos. In July, Bulfinch announced it would convert the mall into the Atrium Center at Chestnut Hill, a medical and office building. Once the sale went through, the already half-empty mall started losing stores one by one, with the last few moving out in January 2013. But as the mall emptied, one Atrium tenant remained: The Cheesecake Factory. When asked about its future plans at the Atrium or elsewhere in Chestnut Hill, The Cheesecake Factory Senior Director of Public Relations Alethea Rowe sent the following statement…
