Alaina SpazianiJuly 24, 2012The paper schooner cocktail has the most interesting flavor and is definately my new go-to!
Elyse EstradaJune 5, 2011The egg white fritatta with mushrooms, red peppers and Parmesan for brunch u delish. As is the chocolate croissant!
Tangela KingMay 30, 2011Excellent clam chowder with house-cured bacon, fish sandwich, and get the Snug Harbor Smash. Very attentive staff.
Best oyster bar in Boston(along with its sister spot Row 34.)
Olya XaFebruary 5, 2012Misty Point, Hog Island, Shigoku, Kumamoto oysters are just awesome!! Ceviche is great as well!
Jason CarrascoFebruary 13, 2011If you have room for dessert, the white chocolate and rosemary bread pudding is excellent.
Kevin MarksJuly 16, 2013Christopher on the steamed Long Neck Clams "are these stuffed? They're like perfect ravioli"
Erica NormandeauDecember 2, 2012If you want Farm to Table come to ICOB and order the Fish Sandwich! Best around!
Olia BlancasJune 24, 2018The kitchen is good, selection of oysters great. The service at the bar however not so much.
You can't go wrong here. Best gin martini in town, hands down. Keila = best server ever.- Don't forget to get a few shrimp cocktail with your oysters — you won't regret it
Get the oyster sliders (at least two). Delicious little bites of heaven.
Best seafood restaurant in Boston. Fried clams are amazing.
this place makes me so happy. the music selection is just perfect.
Don't pair whiskey with oysters... Ask for help. But if you love rye ... Have a wildwood and punt the oysters
BeckyJune 18, 2011as an app, order the mussels in white wine cream sauce. amazingly delicate and delicious.
Gin and tonics could be better if they had decent tonic- get some fever tree man!
- Cute…if you get the cookies for dessert, they'll identify the cookies by type as if they were oysters :-)
Polly PocketApril 14, 2011Billy don't know shit bout nothin! Jeannie made the BEST cosmo I've ever had!! Perfectly executed and perfect taste!!!! Try it!
- Get the oysters! My recommendations: Island Creeks (of course) and the Kumamotos!

We opened the Island Creek Oyster Bar to bring the restaurant to the farmer. It's a collaboration joining farmer, chef, and diner in one space. We welcome guests to get to know their oyster grower, harvester, winemaker, distiller, brewer, and fisherman. One meal at a time.
