MET Back Bay

For the time being, we’re taking a little hiatus. Our sister is taking over our corner on Newbury & Dartmouth to allow for an expanded menu & patio seating. Saltie Girl at Met Back Bay opens at 5PM on Wednesday, June 10. Not to worry though, we’re not going away completely. A few of our favorite menu items will be available at our sister , located one block away at 190 Newbury Street. We’re excited to start our summer off strong, and hope to see some familiar faces at both Saltie Girl & Stephanies.

We could not be more appreciative of all the support we’ve been shown over the past several months. We’re closing as of Sunday, June 7 to regroup. More information coming Monday, stay tuned!

We’re offering both preorder and a la carte options for Mothers Day, in addition to our regular to go menu. For preorder items, email us by Thursday at 3PM for pickup on Sunday-info[at]saltiegirl.com @ Boston, Massachusetts

It’s 🌮Taco Thursday🌮. We’re bringing back some of our daily specials, available for curbside pick up and delivery. Find Crispy Fish, Pork Carnitas and Beef Short Rib tacos for $3 each! Plus margarita mix and corona beer 🍻 full details on our website!

This weather makes it easy to stay inside, and also makes it easy to order in! Why not treat yourself to our delish Bolognese, made with veal, beef and pork. Available in single and family size portions, enough to everyone or have leftovers! Updated menu link: https://bit.ly/2wr0klC

We’re hoping in some small way to serve our community by doing what we love to do and do best – cooking for you! Starting Thursday, March 19th, we’re launching Met Back Bay To Go! Available for both curbside pick-up (Call 617-267-0451) and delivery through Grubhub & Doordash, we’re proud to offer an expansive, albeit limited menu from 12-7pm. Menu & ordering link below, we’ll see you soon!

✨A Message From Kathy

Following our government mandate the Sidell Hospitality Group will temporarily batten down the hatches and dim the lights at all 5 of our locations in an effort to support, the local and global efforts to combat COVID-19. After much advisement from many prominent people in the medical community in Boston, we understand and believe this is the wisest decision for the health of us all. We are optimistic that if we all do our part, we will, in fact, get back to business in a much more timely fashion.
We are so exceedingly grateful for the outpouring of support we have received over the past trying weeks from our incredible guests. It has been deeply moving. Our staff has been the utmost professional, exemplary and truly brave.

I am a great believer in the human spirit and in human will and in our medical community here in Boston. We will find a way to get through this together. And be stronger and smarter in the end. Let’s use this time productively – feed ourselves with positive energy – learn new things – reread the classics, watch films we never have, binge our Netflix list, teach ourselves bridge - listen to podcasts and surround ourselves with healing music and try, if possible to find some peace in the midst of all the chaos.

We look sooo forward to serving you and sharing memorable times soon. We will miss you all. Stay safe and love hard!

Kathy Sidell, Owner

We will be closed today at 3pm and are hoping to reopen on Wednesday, March 18 at 11am. We are paying close attention to all local, state, federal directives. And as the world news changes minute to minute - it will certainly impact our decision on whether or not it is prudent to reopen. The utmost importance is the health and safety of our incredible staff and our exceptional guests. So, we will take the next few days to conduct a deep clean and sanitization of the restaurant and further assess the situation.

We have been knocked out by the support from our guests, friends, neighbors, and the community as a whole. Thank you for showing up, and a HUGE thank you to our staff, who have been ultimate professionals.

Please check back for the most up to date information.

Gratefully, Sidell Hospitality

You👏🏼 Deserve👏🏼 This👏🏼
