Olives Has Liquor License In-Hand

Long-shuttered restaurant may be nearing opening day.

 

Olives may have everything it needs to open its doors.

Following news of the restaurant’s hiring day Monday, we checked with the Boston Licensing Board to find out if it had granted Olives its most recent license extension request.

A representative of the board told us that the extension had not only been granted, but that someone from Olives had picked up the license on April 10.

The board representative reported that all of Olives’ permits had been approved.

A phone call to Olives reached only the restaurant’s answering machine, which has remained unchanged for weeks.

We also sent Olives an email. That request for comment also went unanswered.

I was very excited when I heard last week that they were opening. But I then I heard on a pretty good, anonymous authority things are not "set". We are looking forward to the restaurant opening again. We hope to partner with Todd for a major charity initiative. Keep us posted Matt!

Sounds like you know more than I do. Do you think your source would be willing to share with me?
