The Northshore Grille is changing hands.
And its name. And its look. And its menu.
Matt Lewis, Ryan Chilcoat and Geoff Tarr — the trio known for opening and operating Hair of the Dog, Terminal Brewhouse and Honest Pint — acquired Northshore Grille from its former owner Pete Waddington on Jan. 2.
Lewis said Thursday that an extensive renovation is going on at the restaurant, which has operated as Northshore Grille at 16 Frazier Ave., for over a decade.
