Hands down, this is a personal favorite. The dishes are exceptional, memorable, flavorful, and super fresh. Be sure to start with the oysters.
AAA Inspector Notes
Make a detour off the Freedom Trail to this tiny seafood restaurant and raw bar in the North End. Opt for off-peak times as reservations are not accepted, but it is worth the wait. The aromas wafting from the Old World bistro are enough to draw you inside for a tasty bite. The chefs create Prince Edward Island mussels steeped in a garlic-cilantro concoction and honey-sweet johnnycakes (with smoked trout tartare and sturgeon caviar), while the raw bar fuels East and West Coast rivalries. Patrons may choose between a hot-buttered lobster roll or a cold one drizzled with mayo; each is delicious. The menu is seasonal and there is always a special-of-the-day that will impress.
