Channeling Tavern on the Green rather than Tavern Near the Green.
Buckman and Munroe are Lexington’s most treasured and historic taverns. After last Wednesday there is a third: The Vine Brook Tavern on Waltham Street. Vine Brook isn’t your great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather’s tavern. Buckman’s colonial guests dined on freshly-shot game made into a stew of the day, washed down with grog. Vine Brook owners Marcus Palmer and Brian Lesser, along with Chef Chris Frothingham, offer modern and more appetizing fare for 21st century visitors.

Perhaps as soon as September 13, 2011, in fact, according to the target completion date on Panera's building permit, which was approved by Lexington building inspectors this week. The breakfast, lunch and dinner chain will move in to part of the former home of clothes retailer Cohoes, and will feature 101 seats inside and another 14 seats on an outside patio on the corner.

Middle Eastern and Mediterranean fare are staples at Sizzling House of Kabab.
There's skewers and spice and the takeout's quite nice at at Sizzling House of Kabab, a new take-out restaruant on Woburn Street in Lexington. The month-old restaurant, brought to town by Fred Salemi, a 22-year veteran of the restaurant industry, specializes in affordable Mediterranean and Middle Eastern fare, such as falafel, shawarma and kababs -- spelled the Persian way as a nod to Salemi's heritage. "The neighbors and customers so far have been very nice and very supportive," said Salemi. "People love it because this is a different kind of food, that they've been waiting for." Salemi's been in the industry for more than two decades, but this is his first restaurant. He said he was close to closing on a dine-in restaurant in Brookline, …
