- TingJuly 21, 2015Very good chowder. Think the secret is in the bacon that enhances the clam flavour. The biscuits r great too.Go for the oysters only if you want to support MA sourced ones.Give the fluke crudo a miss.
- Twinkle DenoyoAugust 31, 2017Excelent service,waitress knew a lot about their beer and oyster selection. We ordered the island creek oysters, bouillabaise and lobster roll, everything was amazing!
- Jingshu HuangNovember 5, 2015Oyster! They're so so fresh. Shrimp cocktail is also one of my favorite. The lobster roll is aweson.They have some sort of lobster soup, but not every time. So don't miss when you see it on menu.
- Taisiia I.May 27, 2015The island creek oysters are amazing. Liked them more than the other ones. Great ceviche and grilled halibut. I'll be back ;)
- المهره الصعبه ماهي لأي خيالJune 12, 2017Great lively atmosphere, nice crowd, amazing oysters collection, and excellent chowder. Ask for the Perennial cocktail 👌🏻🍸
- Carrie CollinsApril 10, 2016Get a dozen oysters from the raw bar, but FYI "just fuck my shit up" is not an acceptable order. Lobster bisque and oyster sliders are a must.
- ClaudioApril 18, 2016One of my favorites in Boston. Fresh and local oysters; must try the clams with bacon, monkfish with black rice or the fish and chips. Friendly staff, great location and a little expensive.
- Elaine CourtneyMarch 19, 2016Oysters, littleneck clams, and bomb-diggity lobster roe noodles - this restaurant has all my favorites! I always get the Moon Shoals - NE oysters are brinier to begin with but these are just perfect.
- JuanitaJune 24, 2016Sat at the bar with no wait during peak hours and it was fine! The oysters were so fresh--Island Creek were by far my favorite
- Isabel WilliamsJuly 12, 2017bouillabaisse & ambience were both amazing - the bouillabaisse was seriously one of the best meals i have ever had. 10/10, so good, especially the amazing saffron broth!!! plus a super cool vibe
- Adam K.April 5, 2017Excellent experience in every respect. Phenomenal staff, phenomenal seafood. Striped bass was to die for. Definitely save room for dessert.
- Brendan HasenstabMay 14, 2014The finest meal I ate in Boston, period. (And I did my research before I arrived.) Superb fish (red trout), BUTTERMILK BISCUIT, excellent cocktails, and fine atmosphere. Don't miss it!
- Todd HamiltonAugust 21, 2015Our fourth time here and it gets better every time. One of the best restaurants vibes anywhere. The lobster roe fetuchini is outstanding and I can't resist that biscuits with honey.
- Elaine ShinNovember 26, 2016I'm typically not Annie fan of oysters, by this place is a little different. Oysters are fresh, presentations on point and they have alternative main dishes like salmon sooo delicious
- Jenna FriedmanApril 30, 2017Awesome seafood. Oyster selection is top notch. Lobster roll hold the bread for gluten free option was perfect. Waiter even suggested mashed potatoes instead of chips that share a fryer.

- AmateurConciergeMarch 22, 2018Good, fresh sea food yes, but the 9.5 is aggressive. Vibe is like an upmarket big box chain with 4 Star hotel quality food. Not hating jus saying. Would return tho
- Always get the oysters here — particularly the Island Creeks and Row 34s…along with anything else that sounds interesting
- Anna TyzikAugust 7, 2014Great oysters (obviously) and great cocktails! The lobster roll was a little too mayo-y for my liking but packed full of meat and the side of homemade chips are great!
- Serious EatsJune 4, 2014Renowned for its oyster raw bar and knowledgeable waiters who can talk you through any variety (and suggest an excellent wine pairing).
- Kenneth TiongOctober 28, 2012Lobster roll 4.5/5. toasted brioche. Lobster filling is a nice lobster mayo salad. Kettle chips could be crisper. Island creeks are excellent, nausets saltiest, smoothest. Belon a sweet-sour enigma.
- schneidermike schneidermikeMay 2, 2016Fabulous oyster selection and great cocktails. Reservations recommended on weekends and during Sox games.

- Gozde ErsahinAugust 13, 2017Everything is delicious here! I tried oyster and seafood noodles, hmm yummy! A bit pricy though
- Vanessa GatlinFebruary 17, 2014(Best of Boston 2013-SEAFOOD) Improper Bostonian says, "Bivalves are only the beginning. Whether it's pearlescent crudo, an inspired halibut with mushroom broth/ the gastronomic epiphany of trout..."
