A Year on the Hill: 2025 at 75

A Year on the Hill: 2025 at 75

There’s something about a year in Beacon Hill that feels richer, slower, and more meaningful when you take a moment to look back. Brick-lined streets, familiar faces, and traditions that return with the seasons  2025 gave us all of that and more. From new ideas behind the bar to milestone celebrations that reminded us why we love what we do, this year was one we won’t soon forget.

Raising a Glass Without the Alcohol

Early in the year, we proudly kicked off our non-alcoholic cocktail program, a thoughtful expansion of our bar that reflects how our guests are choosing to gather today. Crafted with the same care and intention as our classic cocktails, these zero-proof options quickly became favorites. Proof that great flavor and hospitality don’t require alcohol. Whether joining us for brunch, a weekday dinner, or a celebratory toast, everyone had something special in their glass.

Five Years of Patio Memories

This year marked the 5th anniversary of our patio opening, a milestone that feels especially meaningful after all the moments it has hosted. From sunlit brunches and lingering dinners to crisp fall evenings wrapped in layers, the patio has become a beloved extension of our dining room and a front-row seat to Beacon Hill life. Celebrating five years outdoors reminded us just how lucky we are to share this neighborhood with you.

Restaurant Week, Twice as Nice

We were thrilled to participate in Restaurant Week not once, but twice in 2025  welcoming guests during the winter edition and again at the end of summer. These weeks are always a highlight for our team, offering a chance to showcase seasonal menus and welcome both longtime regulars and first-time visitors through our doors. Seeing familiar faces return and new ones discover us is what Restaurant Week is all about.

Oktoberfest Returns

Fall arrived with a familiar sense of excitement as Oktoberfest made its return. The buzz around our schnitzel and strudel was real and deeply appreciated. It was a joy to bring back these comforting, celebratory dishes and watch the dining room fill with guests embracing the season. Oktoberfest has become a tradition we look forward to all year, and 2025’s return did not disappoint.

A Very Special Beaujolais Nouveau Weekend

This year’s Beaujolais Nouveau celebration was truly something special. With the harvest delivering an exceptional vintage, we extended the celebration across an entire weekend, giving guests more time to enjoy the first taste of the new wine. It was a reminder of how food, wine, and timing come together to create moments that feel fleeting and unforgettable.

20 Years of Gingerbread Magic

Perhaps the most heartwarming milestone of the year was celebrating 20 years of our Gingerbread House Party Brunch. Two decades of families, laughter, creativity, and holiday tradition filled our dining room once again. Seeing generations return year after year, building gingerbread houses and memories alike, is something we’ll never take for granted.

Looking Ahead

As we close the chapter on 2025, we’re filled with gratitude  for our guests, our team, and the neighborhood that continues to support us. Thank you for being part of this year’s story. We can’t wait to welcome you back through our doors and into everything the next year has in store.

Here’s to more moments on the Hill.
