PCA completes design for Surf Seafood
Woburn, MA With its raw bar selections, fresh seafood menu, and bustling sushi bar, the new Surf Seafood debuted this month as the latest north-of-Boston restaurant destination for Michael Timothy’s Dining Group. Designed by the architects and interior designers PCA, the 267-seat restaurant’s design features marine artwork, and custom wooden furnishings. Whether seated in the modern, open environment of the dining room or at the sushi and raw bars, guests order from a menu that features traditional and chef-inspired seafood dishes.
“PCA successfully captured our design vision for Surf Seafood, allowing us to explore different concepts until it felt right, said Michael Buckley, chef/founder of Michael Timothy’s Dining Group. We are confident this lively, new dining space will be the place to come for a fun evening out with family and friends.”
“Designing the new Surf Seafood restaurant inspired us to fulfill the creative vision of Chef Buckley, his son Ian Buckley, and their entire team,” said Eric Brown, a principal and architect with PCA. “In addition to serving great food, today’s restaurants need to offer a distinctive, enjoyable visual experience for guests to want to return. We enjoyed keeping that idea as our guide and loved working with Michael to create a memorable guest experience.”
Buckley’s passion for excellence led him to create a popular collection of full service restaurants including MT’s Local Kitchen & Wine Bar, Surf Seafood Restaurant ,Buckley’s Great Steaks, and Buckley’s Bakery & Cafe. The new Surf Seafood is in Woburn Village, a mixed-use residential, hospitality, and retail center located nine miles north of downtown Boston. Additional locations are in Portsmouth and Nashua, N.H.

Placemaking and retail in 2024 - by Carol Todreas
Placemaking. That is the word for 2024. While the concept has historical precedence in urban development, it became part of our current culture in the 1960’s when urbanists started to think about cities for people, not just cars.
