Neptune Oyster
As seen by the constant queue that forms outside the door, Neptune Oyster has been one of Boston's most sought-after options for fresh, regional seafood since it first opened in 2004. The small area has a distinctly nostalgic character thanks to the addition of pressed tin, subway tiles, and etched glass. As the kitchen consistently produces its acclaimed lobster rolls, skilled shuckers handle a range of fresh bivalves with precision.
Neptune Oyster, one of the Best Seafood Restaurant in Boston, is the epitome of an East Coast raw bar. The interior's plain subway tiles radiate a nostalgic appeal. The city's most renowned lobster rolls are served hot with butter or cold with mayo, and while many customers focus on the raw bar, those that choose substantial meal like them. Other noteworthy meals include creative dishes like a whole Rockport mackerel served Veracruz-style and delicious burgers topped with fried oysters. Expect to wait outside the entrance for a seat at the bar or one of the marble-topped tables given the confined space.
