Guillermo MendozaOctober 28, 2015Fresh oyster are delicious the Moon Shoal from Barnstable MA and the Fin de la Baie from New Brunswick Canada!!!
The smoked Idaho trout is a fantastic late night special!
PatriciaMay 20, 2015I could've eaten TWO large fried clam portions by myself. Such a simple dish made so exceptionally tasty.
The wallpaper at the back is upside down. I still like the place though :)
The clam chowder with house-cured bacon combines wonderfully with the Schlenkerla smokebeer for a delicious warming snack or first course on a cold day.

We opened the Island Creek Oyster Bar to bring the restaurant to the farmer. It's a collaboration joining farmer, chef, and diner in one space. We welcome guests to get to know their oyster grower, harvester, winemaker, distiller, brewer, and fisherman. One meal at a time.
