Five Questions With:
Chef/Owner Gordon Hamersley

In 1987, Gordon and Fiona Hamersley opened the original Hamersley's Bistro in a tiny storefront in Boston's up-and-coming South End neighborhood. The restaurant's French-inspired bistro food was an immediate success. In 1993, Gordon and Fiona moved their restaurant a few blocks down into an historic building perched on the corner of Tremont and Clarendon Streets. The 115 seat restaurant boasts an open kitchen, a private dining room, and a beautiful outdoor brick patio with trees and flowers decorating its perimeter.

The beautiful architecture of the restaurant reflects the union of New England and France, with rough wooden ceiling beams salvaged from a Connecticut barn presented in harmony with French tapestry florals.
