When thinking of Boston, a luxe restaurant scene doesn’t always come to mind, but the vibrant city is filled with unique dining experiences, like [Tender Greens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grilled-sea-bass-bowl) -- a colorful restaurant which was designed by Brooke Spreckman of [Design Hutch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-next-agency).

This particular eatery features welcoming tables that have been outfitted with brown high-back couches. With inspiration drawn from the colorful and chaotic aesthetic of the art deco era, this space boasts unique pops of color in the form of a rainbow-like design which is scattered throughout the interior. In addition to the gorgeously designed space, eaters will be drawn to Tender Greens because it serves up [ethically sourced comfort food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-neos), that ranges from fried chicken to kale salad.
