East Coast Grill & Raw Bar, commonly known as East Coast Grill, was a seafood and barbecue restaurant[1] in the Inman Square neighborhood of Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was opened by Chris Schlesinger in 1985. The restaurant was famous for their annual Hell Night which focused on super-spicy foods.[2]

The restaurant was sold in 2012 to James Lozano, executive chef Jason Herd, and general manager Robin Greenspan. It closed permanently in 2016.[2]

The Boston dining scene, before they opened, was “ fancy, pricey and …a tad stodgy … (but East Coast Grill) managed to change the course of Boston’s dining future.”[3] Staff included Andy Husbands[3] and Tony Maws[4]
