The Charles River Regional Chamber held its annual Spring Seasonings at the Marriott in Auburndale Monday night.
Spring Seasonings gathers chefs from across MetroWest—45 of them this year—under one roof to showcase the region’s top-tier restaurant industry for what can only be described as a Saturnalia for the tastebuds.
Around 500 guests mingled, ate, drank, and ate some more. Newton restaurants included O’Hara’s, Baramor, Luna’s Cakes & Coffee, Thistle & Leek, Cabot’s Ice Cream, Olivia’s Bistro and many more.
