Editorial review•Nov 6, 2025

Fenway Grill & Bar opened on Peterborough Street in early 2025, stepping into a space that Thornton's Fenway Grille held for over thirty years — and that lineage matters. The neighborhood carries expectations: Fenway regulars are loyal, game-night crowds are unforgiving, and a restaurant on that block has to earn its place without hiding behind novelty. What makes Fenway Grill & Bar a genuinely interesting arrival is the pivot it represents: where Thornton's traded in American bar food, this family-owned operation has planted a flag on Mediterranean and Turkish-inspired grilling. That's a specific culinary identity, not a hedge. The room is described as cozy — a meaningful word when you're a short walk from Fenway Park and a meaningful contrast to the louder sports-bar energy that dominates the corridor. For a date or a low-key dinner before a show, the setting reportedly earns its keep in a way the block hasn't always offered. The menu centers on chargrilled meats — lamb, chicken, and beef — and the kitchen's organizing logic is the kebab. The Mixed Grill is the anchor: a generous spread of lamb, chicken, and beef kebabs that functions as both an introduction to the kitchen's range and the reason regulars reportedly return. The Ground Lamb Kebab, wrapped in flatbread and finished with tomato sauce and yogurt, follows a Levantine tradition where the flatbread and sauce are as considered as the protein. The Lamb Chops — described by the restaurant as tender, chargrilled — are the menu's most straightforward declaration of what this kitchen values: fire and quality of cut over elaborate composition. For a neighborhood that skewed toward burgers and wings for decades, this represents a genuine change of register. The practical move here is to come on a non-game night if you want the cozy setting the restaurant is banking on — Fenway foot traffic can shift the room's entire mood. The Mixed Grill is the right order for a first visit; it maps the kitchen's priorities across three proteins. Given that this is a young restaurant still building its local identity, it's worth checking their current hours before heading over, as early-stage operations often adjust schedules. Book ahead when the Sox are in town — Peterborough Street doesn't stay quiet on those nights regardless of what's on the menu.

Let me be honest about what this is: a walk-the-line bowl shop on Boylston, not a room you linger in.

La Fonda Street pitches itself as a passport through Latin American street food — not a single country's greatest hits, but the kind of cross-border cooking you'd find at a busy market stall in Caracas or Santo Domingo.
