Cute…if you get the cookies for dessert, they'll identify the cookies by type as if they were oysters :-)
The guy boss behind the bar is so accommodating! I wish all busy places were this way. Thanks!
Get the oyster sliders (at least two). Delicious little bites of heaven.
Don't pair whiskey with oysters... Ask for help. But if you love rye ... Have a wildwood and punt the oysters
Best oyster bar in Boston(along with its sister spot Row 34.)
You can't go wrong here. Best gin martini in town, hands down. Keila = best server ever.
Polly PocketApril 14, 2011Billy don't know shit bout nothin! Jeannie made the BEST cosmo I've ever had!! Perfectly executed and perfect taste!!!! Try it!
Kevin MarksJuly 16, 2013Christopher on the steamed Long Neck Clams "are these stuffed? They're like perfect ravioli"
Best seafood restaurant in Boston. Fried clams are amazing.- The King Caesar is a delicious recent addition to the cocktail list — co-created by Vik!
- Get the oysters! My recommendations: Island Creeks (of course) and the Kumamotos!
- When on the menu, the Maine Lobster Risotto is a must-try!
Jason CarrascoFebruary 13, 2011If you have room for dessert, the white chocolate and rosemary bread pudding is excellent.
- Gin and tonics could be better if they had decent tonic- get some fever tree man!
BeckyJune 18, 2011as an app, order the mussels in white wine cream sauce. amazingly delicate and delicious.
this place makes me so happy. the music selection is just perfect.
Well done! Devan is a world class bartender, the decor is right on, the Oyster selection is huge.
Peter HonederMarch 19, 2012This place is great, i expected some random hotel restaurant but it is awesome!
- The Oyster Sliders are amazing! One person here described them as "a little slice of Heaven"!
Michelle DohertyJuly 10, 2013Normally good place but tonight it has taken 2 hours to get dinner. On a positive note management has been very attentive
The "Wildwood" cocktail is a Bobby McCoy creation imported from ES. It is smooth, refreshing, and the perfect choice after a long day of work. Drink.- Get the Baby Iceberg Salad — the Great Hill Blue Cheese is excellent!

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.
