Boston, Massachusetts

L'Espalier, located in Boston's Back Bay, is highly respected for its innovative New England-French cuisine. Operating in the high-end service segment himself, Owner Frank McClelland immediately recognized the value of First Republic's "hands on" service and sophisticated products and programs. He uses First Republic for all of his personal and business banking and is currently working with the Bank on the construction of a second L'Espalier in the new Boston Mandarin Oriental Hotel, opening in 2008.
