I made a res here for a larger party to celebrate my niece’s graduation. They gave us a great table and we had a very patient and helpful server. We brought a giant unicorn balloon and an ice cream cake - and it was totally fine. Would highly recommend to anyone with a larger group looking to celebrate in the seaport. And again our server was amazing! 5 stars - she was attentive, patient and dealt with our loud celebratory table. Thank you!
