Signature dishes include Lobster and Cheesy Blue Corn Grits and a Seaport Scramble with local crab and fresh local vegetables.

The experiential service caters to the most discerning of guests, while indulging in a convivial atmosphere.
Sporting Club
An illustrious sanctuary deserving of the Seaport District, Sporting Club is a place for tastemakers, urbanites, and sports enthusiasts to congregate, network, drink, dine, and create traditions in a distinctively intimate and modern sporting environment. Guests can take their drinks in the Trophy Room, the Chill-Out Lounge (VIP suite), or in the central Club Room featuring 12 high-definition televisions. Featuring locally and globally inspired crafted food, small and shareable plates, and specialty cocktails with a refined twist, the outlet’s highlight experience will include gathering around the TD Garden Tower, designed for up to eight guests and brimming with fresh chilled lobster, jumbo prawns, oysters, clams, king crab, smoked fish dip, and all the related accoutrements.
Lifted Pool Bar
