Eventide Fenway

Eventide Fenway is the “fast casual” expansion into Boston of the wildly popular Eventide Oyster Company in Portland, ME. The James Beard Award-winning chefs wanted to expand on the success of the Portland location with an experience that would be sleek, cool and bright in keeping with the urban vibe of Boylston Street.

The highlight of the space are the massive boulders used to display the freshest oysters on ice, and the sinuous ceiling that evokes vibes of the ocean (are they oars or giant ribs?) The vibe echoes the identity created for their Portland brand. Materials such as cast concrete, zinc and solid wood were chosen to balance with the sleek glass and metal façade.
