Lunches, dinners, cocktail receptions, taster tours, wine tastings, and demos are all available. Below are some of our space options. In our third-floor dining room, which is focused on an open kitchen and a massive wood-burning grill, you can host your gathering. Your guests will be transported to an Italian greenhouse as they sip seasonal beverages and relax as the Terra culinary team prepares a menu of perfectly balanced smoke-kissed dishes using seasonal ingredients, all while being surrounded by greenery. The Terra culinary staff cooks seasonal fresh foods over flaming flames in the dining room, enabling the simple flavors to emerge. The herb-infused drinks, extensive wines, and local brews complement the earthy cuisine nicely. In other words, each visit to Terra will provide you with a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

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.

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.
