    • Spaces for 120-150 Guests
    • 1 Restaurant

    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.

    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.

The Hitchcock Room, the largest of the private meeting spaces, accommodates up to 96 seated dinner guests and includes an entrance foyer for registration. Smaller rooms — including the Townsend Room, the intimate Plumb Room overlooking the Courtyard, the historically appointed Treadway Room, and the Side Parlor just off the lobby — serve groups from 8 to 48 guests. The flower-filled Courtyard opens seasonally from June through October for outdoor receptions and dining, and the Side Piazza provides a charming porch setting for cocktail receptions. All on-site events are served by the inn's in-house culinary team, whose farm-to-table menus emphasize local Berkshires ingredients. A dedicated Director of Sales guides event planning from first inquiry through the day itself.
