Eva Opens on Newbury Street in Winter 2022 in Longtime Cafeteria Space | Eater Boston

"Opening in late winter 2022 at 279A Newbury St., this new restaurant — slated to replace Cafeteria, which closed in 2020 after 13 years — will offer a modern American menu that brings back favorites such as the spinach artichoke dip, Bolognese, and tuna burger while placing a strong emphasis on cocktails. The two-level space with a large, people-watching patio is undergoing a full redesign by Tiffany Barqawi Design, featuring natural wood tones, blues, greens, and leaf-like decor; the patio is expected to be ready for spring 2022. Owner George Aboujaoude, who also co-owns other Boston restaurants including a Greek spot in the Seaport, says the general concept will remain similar to the prior operation but with a refreshed look, energy, and a small increase in seating. Planned hours are weekday lunch and dinner, weekend brunch and dinner, with typical closing times of 11 p.m. on most nights and 1 a.m. on weekends. The restaurant’s name honors the owner’s children’s initials, and updates will be posted to its Instagram account." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
