Natick Center Draws 2 More Dining Destinations: Reports

NATICK, MA — Natick Center’s dining scene continues to grow, now with the planned additions of a wine bar and a Japanese-cuisine restaurant.

Both are scheduled to open this fall, the MetroWest Daily News has reported.

Epilogue Books & Wine will combine a small bookstore with a 25-seat bar serving wine, sandwiches, tinned fish and charcuterie, the newspaper wrote. Buildout of the space at 21 Summer St. is expected to start in May or June, with the opening probably in September.

That’s also the month Tsuru expects to open at 45 East Central St., a five-minute walk away. The 100-seat restaurant will offer “traditional Japanese dishes along with interactive dining experiences,” according to the Daily News.

Tsura’s owner, Jack Sy, also owns Hanami Sushi Bar & Grill in Belmont. Epilogue is owned by Mai Hoang, a former management consultant who said the business will combine two of her passions, books and wine.

The two establishments will employ a total of around 25 people, according to estimates from each owner.
