The Restaurant Investment Group is proud to support restaurants in Boston, Massachusetts. These restaurants represent our founders’ vision of supporting chefs in opening and owning their first restaurants in Boston. These chefs have the opportunity to responsibly express their backgrounds, passions, and creativity, in the unique, place-making establishments they now operate. The restaurants provide the public, and our investors, with new, diverse options for the Boston dining scene.


MIDA, Douglass Williams
 www.midaboston.com/
OPENED NOV. 2016.

MIDA, located in Boston’s South End, has 70 seats, including 12 at the bar, and is inspired by Italian cuisine and Chef Williams’ sincere focus on hospitality. The Boston Globe described MIDA as “Italian-influenced food in a sweet little South End spot.” Reviews regularly recommend the handmade pasta, the roasted parsnips and octopus, and the citrus-poppyseed cake. Outdoor seating will be available during summer months.

Chef Williams’ career and restaurant development process are thoughtfully summarized in a December article in the Bay State Banner.

"The most thoughtful, sustainable and well received restaurant deals we've put together for our landlord clients have two things in common without exception: (i) a passionate, talented and driven operator; and (ii) a kickass team supporting, guiding and advocating for that operator."

Andy Husbands

"Groups like RIG, they’re a great option... Because chefs are, a lot of the time, men and women who were making salads really well and someone says you should cook fish; and then they start cooking fish really well and someone says now you should run a restaurant; and then you start doing that really well and someone says now you should run your own restaurant! And we’re not necessarily always trained in the business aspect."
