Island Creek Oyster Bar

A hybrid of traditional New England shore food and creative, seasonally influenced seafood makes Island Creek Oyster Bar stand out from the crowd of Boston seafood restaurants. With fish selections and oyster lists changing daily based on what’s coming out of the water, it could only be fresher if you caught it yourself. The namesake oysters, by the way, are among my favorites from the East Coast.
