We're busier than ever with exciting new events and collaborations in the works for spring! We're preparing to open our new outpost at the highly anticipated TimeOut Market Boston, and have great new additions to our Wine Bar menu and team. We also celebrated in February with news that Chef Peter Ungár was named a semi-finalists for the James Beard Awards Best Chef Northeast. And as the snow melts making way for spring, we're excited about fresh peas, fava beans, and cardoons, all sprouting up on our menus now!

Everyone at Tasting Counter brings passion and heart to what they do. Merrick recently joined our team as Beverage Director, and when he isn't enlightening us on the finer points of sherry or making us giggle (he took improv classes in Chicago!), he's discovering small production wines, sakes, and beers that pair beautifully with our dishes!
We've been busy with menu development for our new outpost at TimeOut Market in Fenway. We'll be serving menu items inspired by our dishes at Tasting Counter, ranging $8-24. The grand opening is slated for late spring and we look forward to seeing you there!
