About Kristin Jenkins

Kristin Jenkins, the visionary owner of 1928 Beacon Hill, brings a rich blend of history, artistry, and hospitality to this upscale yet inviting dining experience. A lifelong lover of antiques and art preservationist, Jenkins has curated a space that tells a story — one deeply personal and filled with character.

The restaurant's design unfolds across three distinct spaces: the bar and lounge area features her extensive collection of Black Forest wall mounts and antique paintings, creating a cozy, lodge-inspired setting. The Ship embraces a nautical theme with oars and seafaring artwork, while the Library, with its leather banquettes and intimate lighting, evokes the charm of a refined club room. Together, these elements accommodate up to 100 guests, including 14 seats at the marble-topped bar.

1928 Beacon Hill is not just a restaurant; it’s a tribute to Jenkins' grandfather, who first sparked her love for the hospitality industry. The restaurant's name pays homage to the year he was born, blending personal history with the timeless ambiance of the 1920s.

As the owner of Leonard’s New England, a historic antiques store in Seekonk, Jenkins has seamlessly incorporated her passion for blending old and new into the restaurant’s décor. Her meticulous attention to detail extends to a restored mural from the 1940s, a testament to her dedication to preserving the space’s history.

With 1928 Beacon Hill, Kristin Jenkins has created a welcoming yet sophisticated haven for diners — a reflection of her deep love for Beacon Hill, antiques, and meaningful connections over great food.
