Chef Randall began working as a line cook and dishwasher at the age of 14, quickly understanding that his ultimate professional objective was to be an Executive Chef. The core abilities were learned at an early age, resulting in a distinct culinary foundation that was formalized at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island. Chef Randall became the Columbus Hospitality Group's youngest Executive Chef at the age of 25. In October 2013, Chef Randall departed Mistral to start Ostra Restaurant with Chef Jamie Mammano. Chef Randall, who grew up near the sea, was ecstatic to embark on this new culinary adventure. Chef Randall's delicate preparation of seafood showcases the natural and fresh tastes of each dish, showcasing the best seafood available locally and abroad. Chef Randall believes that the most important aspect of running a successful kitchen is to constantly improve himself and his team. He leads by example in the kitchen and encourages his employees to work hard.

The cuisine of 1928 Beacon Hill is traditional American fare from New England. The restaurant has a warm and welcoming ambiance thanks to the presence of antiques, and it serves prohibition-era cocktails within a speakeasy-style setting. For private events, festivities, weddings, and other events can be held privately and in an intimate setting. 1928 Beacon Hill is the ideal location for hosting small-scale public or private events, including weddings and festivities. We have a full bar and serve dinner. Our menu focuses on traditional American cuisine, and the atmosphere of the restaurant pays homage to Jenkins's experience in antiques. The design of 1928 Beacon Hill is composed of three distinct elements in terms of aesthetics: Throughout the years, Jenkins has amassed a collection of antique paintings and wall mounts from the Black Forest, and this collection is on display in the bar and lounge area of the establishment. The room at the back exudes an air of a dark club room with its leather banquettes and seductive lighting, while the section in the middle is decorated in a nautical theme with oars and artwork that focuses on the sea. There are seating options for around 90 diners over the entirety of the restaurant, including 14 at the bar. The proprietor's grandfather was the person who first inspired the owner's interest in the restaurant business, and the restaurant can be seen as a form of monument to the grandfather. In addition to the atmosphere of the restaurant being reminiscent of the 1920s, Jenkins explained that the name of the establishment is a reference to the year that her grandfather was born.

With us, you can celebrate a special occasion or host a corporate event. We personalize every meal item and finishing touch. In our semi-private lounge at Legal Crossing, we can accommodate 25 guests for a cocktail reception. A 75-person seated dinner and 80-person cocktail reception are possible with a partial buy-out. For larger parties, a full buy-out is offered for up to 125 people for seated events and 160 people for a cocktail reception. Legal Crossing's group dining offers excellent food, service, and convenience. For more information, please contact our special events manager. 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.

Aside from the delightful smoky flavor, charcoal produces a hotter, more intense heat. Foods sear better on charcoal, delicate foods like fish stick less, and the "grilled" flavor, which is a result of the hot grate searing the surface of the foods and the smoke produced by the fire, is improved. SHARING A MEAL AND BREAKING BREAD IS A CULTURAL EXPERIENCE BECAUSE FOOD CREATES SUCH A BOND BETWEEN PEOPLE. Our management team is dedicated to making Back Deck better for our guests by proactively influencing our path and working closely with our workforce.

Thank you for considering having your wedding ceremony at King's Chapel!

We provide a more intimate setting in The Little Chapel at our Parish House, a beautiful townhouse with its own charm at 64 Beacon Street, for weddings with less than 50 guests. Our wedding service is based on Anglican tradition and is available in our Prayerbook. It is a traditional ceremony during which the pair exchanges vows and rings as a symbol of their commitment. Friends and relatives are asked if they will stand with you and support you while you keep each other safe. The event closes with a blessing, with everyone invested in the union. We welcome you to attend our 11 a.m. Sunday services to become acquainted with our liturgy and the church. We marry couples of any faith or sexual orientation in the inclusive spirit of the One we adore, in keeping with our welcoming of all. Please contact Gretchen Horton, Parish Administrator, if you have any questions regarding holding a wedding at King's Chapel. We take our application process very seriously because we believe that marriage is a choice that requires love, support, and community to be happy.

Yvonne's redefines the Supper Club dining experience with an amazing seasonal menu and a beautifully constructed environment, making it the ideal place to hold your gathering for any occasion. We provide a variety of personalized choices, ranging from a small gathering to a fully exclusive event. The new Yvonne's area beneath the Library offers a very exclusive and intimate eating experience, as well as amusing pop cultural references that provide commentary on modern life. The Gallery has only seven tables, therefore bookings are exceedingly limited and only accessible by special request. The entry is hidden behind a secret bookcase in the back of the Library Lounge, hidden from Yvonne's raucous main floor. The Supper Club harkens back to a time when comfort and attention to detail took precedence above fashion. The area has a weathered backdrop and polished furnishings. Antique crystal chandeliers, tufted heather gray sofas, clean white linen-draped tables, and hand-clipped Calacatta marble floors. Locke- Ober's original Santo Domingo mahogany bar, meticulously hand-carved on-site by French woodworkers in 1886, is the focal point of the dining area. The Supper Club is a great place for seated group eating, business events, and birthday parties. Yvonne's lounge, which is adjacent to the dining room, similarly strips down a once-ornate room to its unpainted brick walls and tin ceiling coffers for informal business gatherings and joyous cocktail parties. Styled bookcases, fine dining tables, herringbone wood floors, a hand-cut mahogany bar, and Locke- Ober's original gilded fireplace are all found in the Library. Charmaine Olivia's edgy, ethereal representations of famous historical characters hang among the Library's multi-hued books, creating a vibrant depiction of Yvonne's polished, yet fiery personality. The Library is imposing and an excellent choice for any type of event.
