Persephone restaurant information

The formerly industrial neighborhood of Fort Point Channel’s continues its stylish make-over with the addition of Persephone, a casually elegant, neighborhood bistro from Michael Leviton, chef-owner of West Newton darling, Lumière.

Housed in the striking Summer Street storefront of The Achilles Project, a super hip lifestyle boutique, Persephone features a seasonally-inspired menu of small to mid-sized plates made with local, sustainable ingredients wherever possible. The whimsical bar menu features lighter fare for snacking as well as the most interesting sake selection this side of Kyoto and some pretty potent cocktails.
