Fort Point Boston welcomes 5 new restaurants set to open on former site of Jimmy’s Harborside

A culinary transformation is set to take place on the site of the former Jimmy’s Harborside Restaurant, a Boston institution that served classic seafood for eight decades. Demolished in 2007 and replaced with a new complex called Liberty Wharf, the first of five new restaurants is set to open there next week.

Each restaurant will feature outdoor seating and sweeping waterfront views for patrons to enjoy. Chefs are also promising some cutting edge cuisine and amenities to accompany their beautiful settings. Residents of Boston waterfront condos and Boston waterfront apartments should definitely check out these awesome new restaurants as soon as they open.

Upscale Mexican eatery, Temazcal Tequila Cantina, will offer menu items such as roasted suckling pig and huitlacoche, a Mexican delicacy of a truffle or fungus that grows on corn stalks, all of which can be ordered from an iPad. “Our food will do things you’ve never seen Mexican food do,” said Temazcal chef, Todd Hall, who made his name in top restaurants in Arizona before his Boston move.

The first restaurant that is set to open at Liberty Wharf is another outlet of Jerry Remy’s Sports Bar & Grill, which is scheduled to open next Wednesday, March 9. Temazcal is hoping to be open for business by the end of March, and the others, including Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak House and a new Legal Sea Foods, plan to follow in April, while the fifth restaurant has not yet been named.

The new restaurants will have large outdoor spaces along a recently added 500-foot section of the city’s HarborWalk, as well as decks overlooking the water. There are also new docks where boaters can tie up and dine, and there is the possibility of adding sailing and fishing charters.

The new $65 million-plus development, designed by Elkus Manfredi Architects, features glass walls and wide spaces between the buildings to allow unobstructed views of the water. It also includes exotic wood finishes, including Angelique siding and a deck made of the Brazilian hardwood, cumaro.

Liberty Wharf is the latest complex to open in the ongoing transformation of the Seaport District, where Mayor Thomas M. Menino is trying to create an Innovation District, with technology and medical companies as well as modern homes and restaurants.

Each restaurant at Liberty Wharf strives to have distinctive features. Legal Sea Foods will feature a 4,300 square-foot roof deck with retractable glass ceilings and walls; Del Frisco’s is building a floor-to-ceiling wine wall, and Remy’s has a massive bank of high-definition TVs and rich walnut finishes that are considered more typical of a contemporary wine bar.

For those who live, work, and play in the Waterfront neighborhood, along the Fort Point Channel, these new restaurants are an exciting development to look into.
