Old School, New Chef

Amrheins, one of the city’s most historic restaurants (it opened in 1890 and boasts the country’s oldest hand-carved bar) in one of its most steadfastly traditional neighborhoods, gets a 21st century make-over with a new chef and an updated menu. Chef Evan Leavy, whose farm-to-table sensibilities served him well at Bond at the Langham Hotel, brings a few global touches to a menu deeply rooted in tradition – though for the purists he’s keeping old-school dishes like chicken pot pie and hand-carved prime rib. Forget that old saying about old dogs and new tricks; just click through to see how seamlessly the old and new blend at this Boston classic.
