Neptune Oyster
Neptune Oyster is famous for serving some of the city’s freshest seafood. Though they debuted quietly in 2004 in a place as small and pearly as its namesake, Neptune Oyster soon established itself as a real Boston dining pioneer, nearly single-handedly updating the ancient Italian neighborhood it calls home while also redefining New England seafood. Thanks to the familial warmth of the employees and a menu of local seafood and dishes that please both regulars and tourists, Neptune manages the impossible challenge of becoming a destination restaurant that seems like a neighborhood restaurant.
The warm buttered lobster roll and the cornmeal johnnycake drizzled in honey butter and topped with smoked bluefish and sturgeon caviar have earned the national acclaim.

“Food here is superb! You absolutely need to try the lobster roll and the oysters (duh!). They’ve got a very big wine selection, which makes dinner much nicer and tastier.
The place itself is small, so it does get packed. We came in here just before waiting time became absolutely ridiculous. We waited for 20 minutes, but after us, the waiting list was of 2+ hours.
5/5.” – César Rincón Mayorga
Atlantic Fish Co
Atlantic Fish Co has been providing the freshest fish as an institution for Boston’s greatest seafood since 1978.

“Upscale seafood restaurants that excels in quality and simplicity.
Ordered San Francisco Cioppino, Fried oysters, and fisherman’s pasta and all the dishes were fabulous. Freshness of all the seafood (lobster, scallop, mussels, oysters, salmon etc) was on another level and I especially liked how they used parts of salmon & fish with high fat content. All the sauce/broth in the dishes I tried were simple yet perfectly executed in every aspect.” – Jea Hyun Kim

“The drinks are stellar, the food is fresh and delicious. I love the fact that they auto-include gratuity in the bill so you don’t have to do math after eating. You don’t have a dedicated server, but rather everyone working makes sure your table has what it needs. A true team approach, 10/10!” – Tars Cunha

“Lobster bisque: meh. “Stuffed” haddock is only topped with Ritz crackers breadcrumbs, not stuffed. Fried shrimp: large portion but not well seasoned. For a place to be featured on diners drive-ins and dives… I was left disappointed. Perhaps if i had the lobster roll or crab cakes (was sold out) I’d have a different experience” – Dominique George formerly Drake

“One of the best clam chowder I ever had, the fisherman’s platter was a feast, if you like fried seafood this is for you. Stuffed salmon was also good, it was soft and buttery. Friendly staff, the wait time was around 45 minutes on a Sunday evening, they will call you if you put your name” – Ajith Rajeswari
