Noah WeissDecember 19, 2016Pricey and long waits, but great, inventive seafood dishes & vibe. The "toasts" all fantastic: SNOW CRAB avocado / pistachios / stracciatella & SMOKED SALMON bagelette / onion cream cheese / trout roe

Eric DallemagneJanuary 7, 2017Inspired by Barcelona seafood spots, this Back Bay interpretation casts a wide net, serving #fish dishes dominated by a raw bar and shucking station. The allday menu is matched w/ refreshing cocktails
Stephanie HSeptember 14, 2016Innovative small plates. So fresh. Fav was cockle torched avocado with truffles. Uni Benedict, snow crab burrata also amazing!
Cole KennedyJanuary 2, 2020I’m obsessed with their oysters and spin on clam chowder (thinner, multiple types of clam). Really, the entire menu is full of inventive dishes that’s a refreshing shift from classic Boston seafood.
Think this might be a top 2 seafood restaurant in Boston. The oysters are fantastic. Lobster roll is massive and great. Lobster and waffles are intriguing. Uni Benedict is fantastic.
This place rocks. Try everything. Seriously worth the wait and the cramped quarters. Smoked Octopus, sashimi grade Tuna, smoked white fish are standouts on an outstanding menu. Go early!
Sirus OrndoffMay 27, 2018One of the best menus for the small oyster bar genre. Lobster/waffle is a don’t miss. Also, get trendy with tinned meats and seafood on toast. Of course don’t miss oysters!
Aysu OzgurNovember 12, 2018Everything is delicious - the oysters, uni, clams, torched salmon belly, but the true VIP was the Scallop Crudo - SO GOOD! Cocktails are great as well.
Jen KJune 26, 2022Haven’t left a tip on foursquare in years but had to return to rave about this place. Do not miss. Eat on the patio. Warm lobster roll, crab toast, spicy crab hand roll, sashimi, all the cocktails!
DxbMMarch 29, 2019Small and cozy with great seafood.. oysters were good but not great.. the torched salmon belly was great.. so was the lobster roll (heavy) and the spicy crab roll .. they’re fish is great too..
Luica MakFebruary 17, 2019Gorgeous lobster roll; delicious lobster and the brioche was so soft. They worked perfectly together, with the crisps (or chips for Americans). The Brussels Sprouts were beautiful too!
Benjamin PalmerJune 15, 2017oysters are tops. uni crudo, lobster roll, conceptual toasts. roll by 30-45 min before and put your name in and walk around. buy some dope tinned fish to take home
Holly DJune 30, 2017amazing service+quality seafood next door to bonobos. stop by for lunch and sit at the bar! one of a kind interior - worth a look even if you don't stay
AhadAugust 23, 2022They have the best lobster roll I’ve ever tasted 😍 the salmon belly is also delicious but the portion is surprisingly very small
Viktoria ModestaJune 15, 2017Seafood is perfect. Oysters are amazing and the vinegar n chilly comes in amazing dropplet bottle. The whole thing service, wine is all top marks
Moushumi ChaudhuryMay 22, 2017Really cute seafood place. I sat at the bar and had a lovely bowl of Boston clam chowder (of course!) and avocado toast with lobster. Perfect!
Lisa EJuly 19, 2016The Snow Crab Toast is everything you'd hope it'd be an more. Pairs perfectly with the Boston Lettuce Salad.
Amy RobertsonJune 30, 2018Expect a wait but the well curated list of east AND west coast oysters is worth it. Also don’t miss the smoked salmon toast!
Meredith CutlerJanuary 10, 2023The green salad with tuna in olive oil was amazing! As was the hot French bread!
Jennifer ScaliaMay 23, 2022The lobster frite had the best lobster tail I’ve ever had. Also got fried ipswich clams, shishito peppers, oysters and would get them ALL again
Lindsay BrookeFebruary 19, 2018Food is unbelievable. Torched Salmon, trout tin, lobster roll, and crab toast were all incredible. Service was ok.
- Jim DowsonJune 23, 2017If you have to wait, you can grab cocktails at the Met - and carry them over (the two restaurants are connected).
Luca De FeoMay 30, 2022Frenc bread and prawns - utterly phenomenal and super tasty; almost like European food (Spain, Italy)- Tiffany LopinskyAugust 25, 2016Everything is incredible - tinned fish is a must. Beautiful interior!
Whit MaullSeptember 8, 2022The calamari is uniquely flavored with pickled peppers and chorizo for extra deliciousness
Foxytk23October 21, 2017Everything we ate was amazing. Finally good food in Boston from beginning to end.
- Susan LaiApril 7, 2018Buttery lobster roll - yum! Fried lobster & waffle just ok. Oysters - good selection.
Maria RoumiehAugust 25, 2019I had the squid w/ squid ink, baby eel, 5 different types of oysters and the lobster roll... Couldn’t agree on which dish was the worst!
KristenJuly 23, 2016Tuna Poke, Atlantic Lobster Cocktail & Torched Salmon Belly...... heaven on a plate👌🏼
Lobster and waffles is the best thing I have ever put in my mouth.
Mike WalekeJuly 3, 2022the fried lobster and cheese waffle was fantastic. cocktails were disappointing
Lisa RiffelmacherApril 22, 2017Oysters and vibe are A+ just not a fan of tin fish... can't say I didn't try!

"Pemaquids are large and very tasty. Rocky Bay are smaller, but not as delicious. Island Creek are the closest thing to a perfect Wellfleet oyster."

"Best seafood Boil in town! Big portions and tasty flavors! Get the Jumbo snow crab and shrimp is the best in their cajun original sauce."
