The former Big Ben/BOCADO space is getting a new restaurant — and, yes, you know the owner
Tremont, a new local drinking spot and eatery in Atherton Mill in South End, will have its grand opening on Saturday, July 16.
The restaurant will be taking over the old BOCADO space. (ICYMI, BOCADO closed in May after less than a year.)
The change marks a homecoming for Big Ben owner and Tremont co-owner Neel Gandhi, who will be returning to South End after moving Big Ben from the same space. It has room for about 75 people inside and 60 people outside. There will be a TV on every corner and game day drink specials.
The food and drink menus include a variety of options:.
