What we do

Event options.

Clambakes

Our signature experience. Lobster, steamers, corn, and potatoes cooked in our twin 80-gallon steam kettles right in the dining room. Nothing like it in Cambridge.

Corporate events

Team dinners, company outings, client entertaining. Seated dinners or raw bar cocktail receptions for up to 120. Custom menus, dedicated service, private function space.

Celebrations

Birthdays, rehearsal dinners, graduations, milestones. Private or semi-private dining with dedicated staff and menus built around your guests, not a template.

Full buyouts

Reserve the entire restaurant. Full buyouts for larger parties with complete customization: menu, space layout, and a team dedicated to making it run perfectly.
