This oyster shop is not big, but it is the best fresh food restaurant in the North Point area. It provides delicious Italian seafood for guests. Don't forget to taste the specialty oysters when you come to dine. If the oysters of the day are limited, other dishes are very unique. Novel dishes such as pickled beef tongue attract many locals and tourists who like to try new things.
During this special period, it is not easy to eat oysters that have been strictly controlled. Although the US food safety testing is world-class, we still need to be cautious and choose reliable restaurants to order. Today's air-shipped oysters are still very good. I ordered them from Island Creek, and I need to pick them up myself. Island Creek Oyster Bar
The well-deserved "top brand" of Boston oysters, the variety and freshness are impeccable. The waiter is very good at recommending and helped us pick out oysters that are more suitable for our appetite. The main course is slightly inferior and the taste is mediocre. The style of the restaurant is very generous. It is close to Boston University, and sometimes it is difficult to reserve a seat.
Island Creek Oyster Bar Collect 8 oysters of different origins and flavors to summon a super delicious Wreck Fish. Friends strongly recommended it, so I waited in line for an hour and a half to eat it. It's pretty good
Since we were sitting at the bar, I felt bad not to order some wine. I casually ordered a sweet fruit juice cocktail, which was also good with the seafood. It is not difficult to see that Island Creek is also famous for eating oysters. Two chefs specialize in opening various oysters and preparing lobsters and other foods. The oyster varieties this time are a little different. Because there is no specific taste description, I had to ask the bartender for help. He also took care of us guests sitting around the bar while making drinks. He was friendly and patiently recommended some oyster varieties and special dishes to me. In the end, I decided on 4 kinds of fresh oysters, a mini burger and a pasta. I don’t need to say how fresh the oysters are~ Look at the fresh color, there is no fishy smell at all, and the taste is extremely smooth. If you taste it carefully, each one will still be a little different. You really only know it after you have eaten it! The mini burger is very small, with a layer of fresh lettuce leaves topped with delicious lime garlic mayonnaise, and fried fish fillet in the middle. It is refreshing but not full, which is very suitable for the current dish. The fish fillet was fried very crispy, but the fish meat still retained a moist texture, fresh and juicy, paired with lime aioli mayonnaise and soft bread, one can't get enough of it~ His lobster roll is also very popular. Since I had it yesterday, I plan to try other dishes tonight. This time I chose pasta! Don't underestimate this pasta, it includes chopped beef short ribs and lobster meat, paired with fresh seasonal vegetables, which is perfect. There is not too much sauce, and the simple combination can make a big taste. The stewed beef is very tasty, with fat and lean, and the meat is very tender and has a unique flavor with pasta. The lobster meat inside is fresh and full, and the texture is very elastic. I didn't expect the mix of beef and seafood to be so wonderful~ The sweet pumpkin and crispy Brussels sprouts are in season, and the slightly heavy pasta has become light. Dinner is incomplete without dessert! I chose the chocolate tart with ginger syrup and fresh pomegranate seeds. It was not amazing, it can only be said to be half-level. The tart crust is between cake and puff pastry, and the chocolate filling is delicate but it will feel heavy if you eat too much. However, it feels a lot more refreshing when paired with ginger syrup and pomegranate seeds.
