Some moments are bigger than the view.🇺🇸⚓️

On Saturday, guests of all ages gathered at Pier 6 to watch the Tall Ships sail into Boston Harbor, but one unforgettable moment happened right here on our patio. A US Coast Guard veteran celebrating his 88th birthday with his family was greeted by a group of U.S. Navy service members who had stopped in for lunch. After speaking with him, they presented him with a coin in recognition of his service.

There were tears, handshakes and a shared appreciation that moved everyone lucky enough to witness it. A beautiful reminder that while the ships brought us together, it was the people and their stories that made the day truly special. 

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a day we will never forget.❤️🤍💙
