Brought to fruition by more than thirty local inventors and innovative municipal funding, Chris Douglass' Ashmont Grill, like its sister restaurant and neighbor Tavolo, is one of those rare neighborhood restaurants that attracts people from other neighborhoods.

In keeping with Douglass' long-standing commitment to sustainability, the seasonally changing menu at Ashmont Grill is chock full of the locally caught, raised or grown seafood, meats and produce.
