The Red Raven is an American gastropub in the Nashoba Valley town of Acton, Massachusetts, an outer suburb of Boston. A higher-end restaurant[1] with an eclectic menu ranging from epicurean craft main dishes to gourmet variations on pub fare (using local farm-to-table produce as often as possible),[2][3] the Red Raven also has two bars and offers about twenty beer brands on draft, mostly craft beer.[4] Its 2013 opening was seen by the Boston Globe as part of a general trend addressing the perceived lack of "inventive dining options" in the immediate area.[1][3]
Located in the building formerly housing long-time local landmark restaurant Scupper Jack's,[1] the Red Raven is on a private pond, and some waterfront deck seating is provided[5] overlooking Nagog Pond, a 284-acre (1.15 km2) great pond and Massachusetts Landscape Inventory Distinctive Landscape[6] (and a site of religious significance in pre-Columbian times).[7]
