Liquid Art House to Open in Back Bay

The Boston Business Journal reports that former investment banker Ruta Laukien will open Liquid Art House on Arlington Street in Back Bay. The 8,000-square foot space will seat 215 and will feature a "mix of different cuisines including from her native Lithuania." Laukien, who has no prior restaurant experience, has hired Jeff Fournier, chef/owner of 51 Lincoln in Newton, as chef and partner. An art gallery, a hot chef, a big space, healthy financial backing and a Lithuanian-influenced menu: it's safe to say there's nothing else quite like this anywhere in town, if anywhere at all. The restaurant is slated to open spring of 2013. For a video about Liquid Art House, see here.
