Boston Chops, one of the top-rated steakhouses in Boston, is opening a second location in Downtown Crossing. As first announced by Boston Restaurant Talk, Chris Coombs and Brian Piccini of the Boston Urban Hospitality restaurant group (which owns Boston Chops, dbar, and Deuxave), plan to open a new Boston Chops at 52 Temple Place, the former location of French-Indian fusion restaurant Mantra. “I’m extremely bullish on Downtown Crossing as a neighborhood,” Coombs told Boston magazine. “I’m excited to be part of what I believe is something of a Renaissance era in downtown Boston.”

The new location will allow the restaurant to host private functions and larger groups, something it has been unable to do at Chops’s South End spot. Coombs told the magazine that the Temple Place location was once a bank, and its maze of former vaults will make for some of “the more unique places for business dinners and social gatherings [in] Boston.”
