He thinks 224 Boston may need to evolve as well, but appreciates that Aulenback plans to keep the spot running much as it has all these years.

Tyo’s approach was “innovative” and “a real risk” when 224 Boston opened, he added. “It was really like the first urban bistro-type restaurant at that time ,” O’Toole said. The restaurant went on the market earlier this year for $2.5 million. “You never have to go to work.” He added that he had “mixed emotions” about selling the restaurant, saying that “it was probably a three-month process for me thinking about how to sell it, wanting it to go to into the right hands, where someone was going to keep it as part the neighborhood.” “The customers and my staff just became family,” Tyo told the Reporter on Monday. It was 30 years ago last July that Kevin Tyo welcomed his first customers into 224 Boston Street, which was modeled to match the ambience and bistro-style menu of Rebecca’s Cafe on Charles Street and featured New American cuisine. 224 Boston Street, a Dorchester restaurant that has been a popular destination for three decades, has been sold to a new owner, who, his real estate broker said, expects to keep the eatery open under the same name.Įric Aulenback, co-owner of three West Broadway restaurants in South Boston - Loco, Lincoln, and Capo- purchased the Polish Triangle property last Thursday, according to John O’Toole of Olde Towne Real Estate, which brokered the sale.Īccording to O’Toole, Aulenback plans to “retain its identity in some regard… that’s his full intent, to keep it somewhat the same.” He also hopes to keep staff members, possibly with a new head chef.
