Make your next private gathering one to remember. For gatherings of all sizes and events, Porto provides a range of private and semi-private locations. We’ve got four lovely spaces that you can make your own for your next event. Chef Jody Adams, a James Beard Award winner, closed her Harvard Square restaurant Rialto in 2016 after a remarkable 22-year tenure. Great food, in her opinion, no longer required a nice dining setting. She shifted her focus to the Boston eateries she co-founded with Eric Papachristos, Sean Griffing, and Jon Mendez. TRADE, a bustling restaurant on the Greenway in the financial area, has been shaking since 2011. And since its opening day in 2015, Saloniki, a fast-casual Greek restaurant in the Fenway, has had lines snaking out the door; its Cambridge branch, which is only a year old, is as popular. Finally, guests seeking a taste of Adams' famous Mediterranean meals without the white-tablecloth formality can visit Porto, a full-service restaurant next to Sak's Fifth Avenue that debuted a few months before Rialto shuttered. Adams says, "I never stand still." Adams is most proud of her work campaigning for children's welfare or combating hunger through her support of the Boston Food Bank, despite having a closet full of "best" trophies for her food and restaurants. Share our Strength honored her with the Humanitarian of the Year Award in 2010. She helps create and maintain the hospitality programs for Partners in Health institutions during her regular visits to Haiti. Adams may be at the top of her career right now, but another pinnacle might be right around the corner. In the fall of next year, a third Saloniki will debut in Harvard Square. She isn't standing still at all. In May of 2018, Adams will be admitted into the esteemed James Beard Foundation's "Who's Who" list.

The Union Oyster House, near Faneuil Hall on the Freedom Trail, holds the distinction of being America's oldest eatery. This Boston institution, housed in a pre-Revolutionary War building, began serving food in 1826 and has remained in the same location ever since, with the stalls and oyster bar, where Daniel Webster was a regular client, in their original locations. Cocktail parties, buffets, and banquets can all be held in one of our private function spaces. Our Private Function Rooms and Private Dining Rooms are available for your next event, banquet, meeting, or party. We can accommodate parties between 20 and 100 persons. It is our goal to make your next gathering a memorable and pleasurable occasion. Our knowledgeable staff is always ready to assist you in arranging your next event. If you have a group of 20 or more persons, please contact our Dining Room Manager at (617) 227-2750. Although Union Street was laid out in 1636, two years after the Boston Common, there are no municipal documents indicating when the Oyster House was built. All that is known is that the structure has stood on Union Street for almost 250 years as a notable neighborhood landmark. The building hosted importer Hopestill Capen's fancy garment goods shop, "At the Sign of the Cornfields," in 1742, before becoming a seafood house. The Boston shoreline had come up to the back door of the dry goods store at this time, making it easy for ships to deliver their cloth and products from Europe. The Union Oyster House has only had three owners since 1826. Mr. Joseph A. Milano, Jr., and Ms. Mary Ann Milano Picardi have been carrying on renowned dining and service traditions since 1970.
