One of life's many pleasures, we feel, is sharing exceptional meals with your favorite people. Tuesday through Sunday, Fat Hen offers a wonderful private and semi-private dining event area. The restaurant's total capacity is 30 people sitting and 50 people standing. Fat Hen, La Brasa's younger sister, is a modest fifteen-table, thirty-seat restaurant specializing in modern Italian tasting menus. From the moment you come through the door until the last mouthful, our team is focused on the guest experience and making memories. Our passion for good wines, thorough preparation, impeccable technique, and high-quality local products is reflected in our seasonal menus, which change frequently. Please join us as we unveil our new wine bar concept with small paired nibbles. For any new menu updates, please follow us on social media @fathenboston. Seasonal Italian cuisine served in a small, book-lined room with a mysterious cocktail window. Fat Hen, which is housed in the former La Brasa marketplace location, serves pasta with seasonal stuffings and toppings, as well as secondi meals such roasted duck breast and wood-grilled strip steak. The little cocktail window, where drinks are delivered through from the La Brasa bar, only adds to the pleasures of the super-cozy room. Homemade pasta is served in this cozy, pleasant eatery. This is a slam dunk for romance. Plus, the more committed a restaurant is to seasonal ingredients, the better. (There's nothing more enticing than localism!) The Fat Hen ticks all the boxes: a modest, book-lined space, regionally inspired pastas, and indulgent dishes like roasted duck breast. Your date will be enthralled by the time your drinks arrive through the cocktail window leading to sibling restaurant La Brasa.

The Berkowitz family opened a fish market in Cambridge's Inman Square neighborhood in 1950, giving birth to the Legal Sea Foods brand. Customers were granted "Legal Stamps" (forerunners of S&H green stamps) with their purchases at a related family business adjacent to the market at the time, a grocery store called Legal Cash Market. The name "Legal" became linked with excellence and freshness throughout this time. The first Legal Sea Foods restaurant debuted in 1968, directly across from the fish market. The fish was simply grilled or cooked before being distributed on paper plates at communal picnic tables. The Company's commitment to quality standards, freshness, and the integrity of the entire pier-to-plate process remains unchanged today. By concentrating on people (our employees and guests) and excellence in everything we do, we continue to raise the bar and set the brand apart from the competition. So when we declare, "If it isn't fresh, it isn't Legal!" we're reaffirming a dedication that has kept the brand alive for more than 50 years.

The beautiful ballroom, perched atop Strawberry Hill, has enormous windows overlooking our championship golf course and a panoramic view of the Boston cityscape. We'd be delighted to help you plan a memorable occasion! With the value and simplicity of a wedding package plan, the Oakley Country Club, which was founded in 1898, continues its long reputation of great food and service. For retirement parties, employee appreciation dinners, fundraisers, and holiday parties, we are glad to offer a range of menu selections. Showers, baptisms, reunions, and birthday parties are all held in the ballroom. Contact us immediately to start planning your 50-300 person special event. The ballroom at Oakley Country Club can accommodate up to 205 guests and boasts the coveted middle-of-the-room dance floor, giving all of your guests a perfect view of your special day. The appropriate place to start your event is in a separate cocktail area with a view of the Boston skyline and our beautiful golf course. In a devastating fire in 1962, the old Oakley Clubhouse was destroyed. It was replaced by a new clubhouse, which was rebuilt in 1998 to match the original Bulfinch building's lines. The Club's efforts to maintain the charm of a New England rural estate while delivering best-in-class country club accommodations are being bolstered by the 2018-19 clubhouse renovations. The configuration of the course has remained unchanged since the last Ross re-design in 1910. In 2004, the Club hired restoration architects to look over the century-old Ross plans and realign the bunkers and greens to match the Master's layout. Oakley is a landlocked city club. Because our architect's greatest talent was his ability to route fairways, our 85 precious acres allow us an extraordinarily efficient 6,000 yard course!
