Our Gallery has seating for 40-50 people. Only our venue is included in our rental packages. Please visit Additional Rental Items for chair and table rentals.

Colin and Heather Lynch, together with partner Jefferson Macklin, open Bar Mezzana, their first restaurant, in Boston's South End district. The team's energetic journey brings the simplicity and elegance of coastal Italian cooking to a modern, colorful environment at 360 Harrison Avenue, after more than 30 years of operating Barbara Lynch's internationally acclaimed restaurants. Genuine, warm service and hospitality are underlined by Aperol spritzes, an award-winning Crudo cuisine, and a career immersed in pasta creation. Bar Mezzana's wine program, led by Heather Lynch and Beverage Director Ryan Lotz, has a carefully chosen range of varietals to complement Chef Lynch's cuisine, including both well-known bottles and lesser-known (but equally excellent) finds. The cocktail menu has a similar chemistry with the meals. The list contains the perfect Negroni, the perfect Spritz, a handful of seasonal drinks, and a selection of Amari, all of which are heavily influenced by the seasons and traditional Italian cocktails. Colin is a native New Englander who grew up in Newburyport, Massachusetts and attended the Culinary Institute of America for his Bachelor's Degree in Professional Studies before settling in Boston. He had an internship at Chef Barbara Lynch's flagship restaurant No. 9 Park while at the CIA and returned to work with Barbara after graduation. Chef Barbara Lynch got the James Beard Award for "Best Chef Northeast" in 2003 while he was on the team. After that, starting in 2004, Colin was appointed to Chef de Cuisine at No. 9 Park. Colin assisted Chef Barbara Lynch in developing menus and staff when she expanded to the South End with B&G Oysters and The Butcher Shop. Colin's efforts during the opening of Menton resulted in the restaurant receiving Boston's first Relais & Chateaux designation, being nominated for "Best New Restaurant" by the James Beard Foundation in 2011, being named one of the best new restaurants in the country by Esquire, and receiving The Boston Globe's first four-star review from food editor Devra First. Colin and his wife Heather Lynch, as well as former Gruppo colleague Jefferson Macklin, started their own restaurant in June 2016. The creative crudo, handmade pastas, and welcoming hospitality at Bar Mezzana in Boston's South End have won rave reviews from local press and guests.

Artu was established on the most basic Italian technique: wonderful ingredients served simply. Artu first opened its doors to the world in February 1992, with exceptional sandwiches and mouthwatering roasted meats. Since then, we have continued to improve and grow. We've steadily expanded our repertoire since then. We've created old-world comfort food dishes from those sandwiches and roasted meats, as well as modern versions of those classics that make even the most discerning diner remember about their upbringing. Some may recall our kitchen being hidden behind a high counter that was visible from the dining room. A magnificent granite bar now stands in its stead, serving delectable libations till 2 a.m. A tiny dining area perches above the bar, with views of both the bar and Prince Street. It's ideal for any customer as a private dining area or lounge. The main dining room is large enough to accommodate any size group, and it is noted for its lively atmosphere. Artu has become a go-to for tourists and our North End neighbors alike since those February days in 1992. Do you want Artu to host your next party or event? Simply phone us at 617-742-4336 or fill out the form on the events page of our website, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible! “Decided to try this place at the recommendation of our Uber driver and it definitely didn’t disappoint! Probably the best meal I’ve ever had. Service was wonderful-the servers made you feel right at home!” -Stephanie C.

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.
