A new restaurant is on its way to Newton, taking over the space where an award-winning dining spot used to be--and the people behind it own a couple of other places in the city.
A job post within the bostonchefs.com site confirms what a source had told us last month, that David Punch and Shane Smyth of Sycamore and Little Big Diner in Newton Centre will be opening Buttonwood in the former 51 Lincoln space in Newton Highlands. Very little is currently known about the new restaurant other than a note on its website saying it will open sometime this fall.
51 Lincoln, which shut down in June of 2016 after approximately eight years in business, was known mostly for its upscale New American fare; the place received various "best ofs" from The Boston Globe, Boston Magazine, and Dig Boston, according to its site.
The address for the upcoming Buttonwood is 51 Lincoln Street, Newton, MA, 02461. Its website will be at https://www.buttonwoodnewton.com/
