COLORING COPLEY

Though it is one of the nation’s oldest and most storied hotels, the Copley Square Hotel continues to innovate to engage and enchant new generations of guests.

Among the most profound parts of the most recent renovation of the former home of the legendary Storyville Jazz Club and Café Budapest is the opening of HuE.

Named for the Hotel’s historic intersection of Huntington and Exeter, the two-floored HuE brings former Ming Tsai sideman Executive Chef Barnett Harper to a Back Bay venue that was crafted by such hospitality heavyweights as George Aboujaoude (who, as we mentioned, recently renamed his famed Cafeteria restaurant Eva in honor of his food-minded family’s next generations) former W Hotel food and beverage manager Maurice Rodriguez, Silk R&B Party curator Robert Eugene, and tech expert Nick Saber, making HuE a certain new favorite in Boston and beyond!

HuE ‘s upstairs dining room will feature a Pan-American menu that combines American comfort foods with Asian accents and that tops out at $30 a plate. Among HuE‘s sharable servings will be kofta meatballs, tofu with chili garlic sauce, a vegetarian burger with spicy Thai tomato jam, and slow-roasted pork ribs in a Tamarind glaze. There will also be a bar that is open until 1:30 AM that will make for the perfect meeting place before or after a day of shopping or a night of music and theater.

Speaking of music, HuE’s downstairs lounge will host more great food (including escargot with XO butter, braised short ribs with coconut polenta, and extra-large portions of twice-cooked noodles with beef and whole-fried fish) along with an ever-evolving menu of live and DJ-delivered musical offerings. There will even be a lower-level “speakeasy”-style wine and Champagne bar for those who want their evenings a bit more intimate and intriguing and all three bars will also offer international wines, creative cocktails, and full bottle service.

 HuE better go check it out!
