Regarding the restaurant, Brian Piccini says this: “All of the build out progress is still on paper or in the planning process. We are busy working with Historic New England finalizing their application and review process. We’ve started our construction bid documents. We’ve hired our full design team of architects and engineers. They are working together to make sure our use and all the equipment, fixtures, and furnishings needed are suitable for the building and its current MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) systems”
