28 Degrees

The interior space of 28 Degrees, by Designer mark Bombara of Boston and Martin Smargiassi of Innovative Collaborations, includes rich woods, sexy lighting, and creative textures. Curtains and fabrics invoke a sleek interior while providing an acoustically pleasing energy, and will also be used to “close off” sertain areas to create private settings for groups to celebrate special occasions.

Our menu is meant to complement the social setting of the space – it’s fun and whimsical, prepared with quality products and delivered to the table in a staggered flow by professional servers. Iced shellfish, classic dishes and brick oven round out the menu. We are pleased to welcome Chef Nickolas Terrafrace and Consulting Chef Jeremy Sewall.
Jeremy Sewall
Sewall attended the esteemed Culinary Institute of America and graduated with honors. He returned to Maine and worked at the White Bann Inn, in Kennebunkport, a Relais and Chateau property. The European values of the Inn made his move to Europe a natural one. After working in various restaurants in London and Amsterdam, he returned to Boston. He began working at the famed L’Espalier, known for their exacting standards and classic French applications.
