"Celebrated my mother in law's 80th birthday party. The Winthrop Elks was awesome. The view is like none other and the staff were great. My first time to Winthrop I'm ashamed to say having been a MA resident my entire life but I'm a South shore person but after visiting Winthrop I can see why it's so special."

"Me and my wife had our wedding reception here, and everyone was extremely helpful. It has an amazing view of Boston and the water reflects off the bay like stars. The bar was always serviced, and the price was not exorbitant. An excellent choice for anyone seeking a good reception for their marriage!"

"My good friend and his wife had their wedding reception here last September. Since it was early in the month the weather was just right. Not too cold or too warm. The location was very nice and I admired the western view towards the city. The newlywed couple arrived to the restaurant via small boat and I loved that! Both families and of course good friends and more took over the upstairs ballroom and the balcony. Since everyone's experience is different for personal reasons, and knowing it was the reception...that made all the difference. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Very good location. For locals that know this area..always important to know the weather, dress prior to the weather and it never hurts to plan in advance."
