Tips for Dining, Eating, and Food Shopping in Boston (and suburbs)
Start New ThreadDoes anyone know what's going into the old "Spring Blossom" space on the VFW Parkway? There's been a ton of construction and the new place appears a heluva lot more swank (or clean for that matter) than the old dive.

A Lebanese restaurant is going into that space - reportedly the same owner as Nicole's in the South End. They received their beer/wine license this week.

Anyone know what's going on with this place? I had to go to W. Rox yesterday and was looking forward to trying it. Chowhound and google searches came up empty on recent news, so I wasn't all that surprised to see it wasn't there. Does anyone know: stalled or cancelled?

I'm not sure either, but it has been stalled for about 1 1/2 months now. If i had to guess, they ran out of funding but i honestly have no idea.

I drove by the other night, and there was a big banner with the restaurant name (which I promptly forgot) and also saying "coming soon...."

I drove by today and noted the name: "Al Wadi - Lebanese".

It looks like it should be open by now. Anybody tried it?
From Boston Restaurant Talk:

A new Lebanese restaurant and lounge is getting ready to open in West Roxbury, moving into the space where a Chinese restaurant used to be.
Based on information from a job post on the Craigslist site, Al-Wadi Restaurant is planning to open on the VFW Parkway on Sunday, August 15. Al-Wadi will be opening where a Chinese dining spot and cocktail lounge called Spring Blossom resided until closing about a year and a half ago. According to an earlier post on the Universal Hub site, the new eatery will be run by the owner of Nicole's Pizza, a pizza and sub shop located on Tremont Street in Boston's South End that also features Middle Eastern fare. Universal Hub also had mentioned that Al-Wadi may have an outdoor patio in addition to a bar area.
The address for this soon-to-open Lebanese restaurant in West Roxbury will be: Al-Wadi, 1249 VFW Parkway, West Roxbury, MA, 02132.

If you've been in the area longer, you would have referred to it as "the old China Bell location".
I believe there was a third rendition after China Bell and before Spring Blossom, too.

Wasn't it Hunan Pagoda or something like that?

20 years from now we'll do the same with Fontaines!
