Boundary at The Cheshire opened doors yesterday, Feb. 8 at 6300 Clayton Road, in the space formerly known as The Restaurant. As Sauce reported in December, The Restaurant at The Cheshire closed in January for significant renovations and a complete rebranding. Boundary aims to move away from The Restaurant’s identity as a special-occasion spot, toning down the formality of the space by replacing Tudor wood details with exposed brick, expanding the bar into the dining room and adding green and tan leather couches.
The bar and food menus have also been overhauled, replacing traditional courses with more fluid categories like To Share, And Then Some, Hot and Cold, Raw Bar and For the Table. The menu ranges from perfectly executed rainbow trout to homey poutine.
“The point is to make the food approachable, comfortable, shareable,” said executive chef Rex Hale. “Make it so you can come in no matter what the occasion.”
For now, Boundary is open with limited hours: Sunday through Thursday from 4 p.m. to midnight, and Friday and Saturday from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. Beginning Feb. 22, it will open for lunch at 11 a.m., and on Feb, 28 Boundary will open for brunch on Sundays at 9 a.m. Here’s a First Look at what to expect at The Cheshire’s newest eatery:
