The oysters are of course amazing, but try the shrimp cocktail too and both the lobster roe noodles and the biscuit will blow your mind.

Amazing. Try the lobster roe noodles and the crabcakes. It's the closest to NYC you get in Boston.

Very good restaurant, oysters are pretty good. I got the seafood casserol, it is a small plate with very good flavor.
Francisca TanJuly 19, 2013
The oyster sliders and of course the oysters are top notch freshhh! The only 2 things worth getting!

Homemade Ginger beer is awesome. Try the other home made mixers too. Warning: spicy

Island Creek Oyster bar looks more slick than the restaurant you would expect an oyster farm to operate, but it's no less legit. [Eater 38 Member]

Amazing place! Highly recommend. I keep going there over and over again.

Splitting the haddock and getting two sides was the perfect portion. Gotta try the old bay fries and ratatouille! Great service at the bar, too.

Lots good here but the lobster roe pasta is special. Can't recommend enough.

Fresh oyster are delicious the Moon Shoal from Barnstable MA and the Fin de la Baie from New Brunswick Canada!!!
Jacob GyllenstiernaJuly 16, 2013
Probably the best oysters and lobster dish (omelette) I have ever had. They also serve great Chemex coffee.

Everything here is out of this world. Try as much as you can. You can't go wrong!

Wasn't so impressed by the oyster selection (4 types that night) but the ceviche was awesome. Nice trendy ambiance also.
William ZachmannJuly 20, 2012
Superb spot! One of the best in Boston. Be sure to try a "Death in the Afternoon" cocktail with your dozen Island Creek Oysters! It's to die for! *;-)

Water of life cocktail is delightful, as was everything else our bartender Brendan recommended. And you just can't beat island creek oysters..
Kim OwensAugust 30, 2012
Place is popular so you'll have to wait, even for a spot at the bar. Paloma drink is refreshing and tasty. Scallop ceviche was excellent but the lobster was bland. Classy place. Classy staff.

One of the best restaurants of Boston. Amazing service and food.
Roberto GarcesAugust 19, 2012
Really good lobster roll and brunch but the fried clams are boss and the fresh oysters so good.
KaitlinJanuary 15, 2016
Get the clam chowder. Just do it. So fresh, and the little baby biscuits on top are perfect!
Heather HarrisJuly 13, 2013
Went after a game. There had switched to the late night menu but I was more than pleased with my choice of fish and chips. Server was very nice and accommodating.
CITY GRITAugust 16, 2014
Get down on the Clam Chowder. And the Lobster Roe Noodles. And all of the Oysters. Wash it down with a cold Rose.
Robert BrewerDecember 29, 2017
Lobster roe noodles & biscuit are to die for
Chris LDecember 19, 2016
Get: oyster sliders, raw bar (oysters, clams). Pass on lobster roll, fluke crudo.
Kristin DambrauskasJuly 29, 2012
Ask for Nate as a server! He's super knowledgable and gives awesome recommendations! By far the best server ever. Try the oyster sliders too- so delish!!
Joel YeatonMay 10, 2015
Don't miss the G+T. Simple cocktail but with surprising depth from the addition of a grilled lime foam
Dominic FosterDecember 29, 2015
Oysters are amazing and the wine selection is the tits.
AliMay 28, 2018
Fresh ingredients, beautiful interior, and great food. Lobster sliders are a must.
Andy ChapmanAugust 14, 2015
Cohasset oysters are great. So are the scallops. And try one of the IPAs on draught.
Mirek NowakOctober 27, 2017
Amazing oyster bar with some killer lobster roe noodles. Must try.

Sure, the oysters are great, but don't miss out on other raw bar choices. Fluke crudo with orange and sesame is particularly tasty.
Silene LimMay 19, 2016

the water here is amazing. it's so fresh and served chilled at the perfect temperature. best part, it's free.

Get your oysters two ways. Raw on the half shell. Crispy on a slider. Use Pepper Sauce to kick both up a level.
Michelle ChangOctober 11, 2014
great beer selections and nice lobster roll :) omelet was not great though.. But I love their fresh prawn shrimp !!
GrandTen DistillingJune 8, 2012
Feel free to try your cocktails with our very own, Boston-distilled gin, Wire Works. They carry it there and we guarantee that you'll love it!

I could've eaten TWO large fried clam portions by myself. Such a simple dish made so exceptionally tasty.

Wonderful oyster selection; try the Hama Hamas. If you need further guidance, ask Vik behind the bar. He'll never steer you wrong.
The FeastJune 13, 2011
Order a dozen oysters and a couple of fried oyster sliders at the bar, and bigger plates like lobster roe noodles with short ribs in the dining room. Read more

The Sriracha fries often find themselves on the Late Nite Menu…don't pass them up!
ChrisJuly 13, 2012
Best scallops I've ever had. No joke. Tough not to want to veer to the panoply of other seafood choices, but the scallops are unmissable.
CaseyJune 24, 2016
Oysters on oysters on oysters!!!! Poor service but the food makes up for it!

The Cape Spear oysters from New Brunswick, Canada often sell out…get them when available!
AppleJanuary 16, 2013
