Our new phone number is 978-486-3600. Give us a call!
ACT III will open in three phases.
Phase I
Opening for lunch and dinner as of Tuesday 11/11/14!
Our full alcohol license will be in effect.
We welcome Chef Joseph Alptekin
and his artful, delicious, healthy Mediterranean/ European cuisine!
Tuesday through Friday 11:30 a.m.- 10 p.m.
Saturdays 11:30 a.m.-midnight; Sundays 4-9.
Reservations by telephone and email (24 hr. advance) are most welcome!
During Phase I, we will be playing choice CD’s recorded exclusively by our own community of Acton Jazz Cafe live musicians. CD’s will be featured and also for sale at all times.
Phase II
Beginning in a few weeks, we’ll be adding weekly Sunday brunches to our restaurant schedule.
During Phase II, we will be scheduling a few select live musical events, mainly at night, including as many of our longstanding regular musicians from The Acton Jazz Cafe as possible. Please stay tuned for our musical schedule!
At this point, we don’t expect to have a full entertainment license at ACT III until some time in 2015.
We have moved into an historic (1830) converted farmhouse, and there have been serious concerns about updated code compliance. This has been a somewhat difficult, long, and complicated process, involving thoughtful architects, lawyers, and town officials.
The Littleton Fire Department has had to order the installation of a sprinkler system. This would be an almost impossibly difficult and expensive installation. We now have to appeal that order (& win) at a state level before we can schedule live music at will several nights a week, as we have done in the past.
If we lose the appeal, we definitely won’t be able to install a sprinkler system before springtime at the earliest.
A more feasible alternative to a sprinkler system might be the construction of fire walls around our space within the building. That could possibly happen sooner. Right now, we are unsure of how long the appeals process will take. It could be weeks, or months.
Live music will be weekly or even monthly, rather than nightly, until we get this whole issue resolved.
The Town of Littleton welcomes us! They are working with us. They just do not have the authority to override the laws governing live music performance and fire suppression. We do have high hopes for success at the state level.
Ultimately, we will do whatever it takes to optimize the live music at ACT III.
We don’t anticipate being able to schedule our beloved jams or open mics until Phase III. Sad, but true.
We do sincerely hope that you will visit us and enjoy the artful, musical restaurant scene in the meantime. We miss you!
We think you’ll love it! We look forward to developing the restaurant and the service to a point that we have only approached in the past.
Phase III
It’s hard to say quite when we will have a full entertainment license, and our nightly dinner performances, scheduled weekly jam/ open mic events alongside the ongoing restaurant and gallery operations.
Third time’s the charm!
