Craigie on Main

Editorial Review

Renowned chef Tony Maws' reputation isn't the only thing blowing up. Demand for more space from fans of his inspired French bistro exploded as well, enabling a move to a bigger space in Central Square. Scuffed-up hard wood floors, an open kitchen with an enormous staff worrying over the details, and a proper bar area give this long time favorite its new, rustic pantry feel. Starlet bartender Tom Schlesinger-Guidelli may have departed but his spirit lingers as they continue Boston's classic cocktail revival with a steely, professorial grip tempered by chummy, neighborhood hospitality.
