Hyde Park restaurant shuts down
By adamg on Tue, 01/05/2016 - 7:18pm
Boston Restaurant Talk reports the Briar Rose on Hyde Park Avenue has wilted.
It's the latest restaurant to close (or to never even open) at that spot. It was also Kevin Twohig's second go at a restaurant on Hyde Park Avenue, after Maggie Mae's up at Canterbury Street in Roslindale (where Delicias Dominicanas is now).

Great, now there is room
for another store front Pentecostal church.
The food at Briar Rose got much better recently, but unfortunately was always empty.
I really hope someone opens a Mexican restaurant there
I wonder who they will sell the full liquor license to? We ate there a good amount and it was never crowded but decent food. Hyde park seems to suffer from lack of people eating out in their own neighborhood ( everyone goes to other neighborhoods to eat).
Whats needed is a dollar store that serves as a
church on Sundays.
Could also
Be a barbershop open until 12 am.
I agree
Hyde Parker's need to support their own much more, but frankly unless you are in the mood for standard american pub fare or haitian food there isnt much to support.
Fairmount grill (standard pub / grill fare) seems to always be doing a good business. Hell I walked away from the restaurant once because of a 20 minute wait.
Zaz, also seems to be doing a fairly decent business, I almost always see patrons inside, and whenever I eat in there, there is always to-go traffic happening.
Anthony's Bacaro is also opening soon and I'm guessing will do well based on the quality of the sister restaurant, sophia grotto, in Roslindale.
Oh
I forgot about Anthony's Bacaro coming there soon, and as a huge fan of Sophia's Grotto I can't wait to try it out.
Don't forget Salamanders also opening"soon"
might be the only legit bfast place in Cleary/Logan Sqs (if you don't count DD's and McD's...all a matter of perspective)
Hasn't it been opening soon for more than a year now?
Hyde Park seems to be the Land of Opening Soon Places that Don't Actually Open Soon.
not quite...
I am acquainted with the owner and it sounds like she is doing it right on limited resources even if it has taken longer; file under "good things take time" .....hopefully.
It is
they took down the paper from the windows and you can see that it is 95% ready, basically everything but food. I saw the lady in there knocked on the door and she told me they were going to open next week!!
Kind of a Bummer
Sad that the Briar Rose didnt' make it, but I think that location is doomed for a successful restaurant. The area is just not very inviting. As a Hyde Park resident I keep hoping some hipsters will eventually show up and start settling in but it never happens. So we get hair braiding, store front churches, EBT convenience stores, and ambulance-chaser chiropractors......sigh.
Also think it is sad
But that is hardly a doomed location. How long was Mario's there?
I was there once, for our past anniversary. We ate a great meal, then went for a walk over by the Mother Brook. We were kind of shunted by the kitchen (which, oddly, was a very cozy spot to celebrate) because there was a function going on.
Perhaps when the place that is replacing the Eagle lodge or whatever opens that stretch of Hyde Park Ave will jazz up a bit.
