The Street Chestnut Hill To Welcome New Restaurant 'Chef Dave's'

NEWTON, MA — The Street Chestnut Hill is getting ready to welcome Chef Dave's, a new restaurant concept by local private chef David Welch that is set to open this winter.

Before deciding to open his first-ever restaurant, Welch catered parties for every size and occasion, from intimate social engagements to political fundraisers. He decided to embark on his new venture in Chestnut Hill to remain close to home and still cook for many of his private clients in Boston, Cambridge, and surrounding areas.

“Chestnut Hill is my home and serving the community has real meaning for me," said Welch in a statement. "I’ve enjoyed a sustained career cooking for a growing list of private clients, and my new concept affords me the opportunity to serve and delight the broader community on a daily basis."

Chef Dave’s will offer some of Welch's most famous dishes and unveil new creations in a laid-back "bistro-style" setting. The restaurant will be open for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, as well as takeout and customizable catering.

“Whenever there is a flawlessly catered event in the area, chances are Chef Dave was behind it," said Alana Stein, General Manager of The Street Chestnut Hill, in a statement. "He defines culinary excellence in our community and we’re honored to be home to his first storefront. We know his new concept will be greeted by the neighborhood with open arms and we look forward to welcoming him into our diverse dining mix."

Chef Dave’s will be located next to EYESPOT and join many recent and upcoming business openings at The Street Chestnut Hill, including Nike, Blue Bottle, and Limani.
