I drove by it daily for a few months as they were renovating the building at 239-241 A Street in the Seaport District and wondered what it would be.
Finally, last Wednesday, Barlow’s Restaurant (Superior Dining Group – The Warren Tavern, Devlin’s, Orlean’s, etc.) opened its doors and I got a chance to go there on Thursday night with my wife.
