The Front Room was a pioneer in 2008 when it opened on Munjoy Hill as a precursor to surging real estate values that now define this revivified East End neighborhood. Then, however, neo-millennials packed its space for the modestly priced comfort food that its founding chef Harding Lee Smith did so well.
Three rooms later (The Grill Room, The Corner Room and Boone’s Fish House and Oyster Room) packed with patronage of all ages, the original one is still going strong. I don’t think I’ve dined there in over a year until this past Wednesday when I dropped in to have dinner at the bar.
