Neptune Oyster

Top choice in Boston


Neptune’s menu hints at Italian, but you’ll also find elements of Mexican, French, Southern and old-fashioned New England. The impressive raw bar and daily seafood specials confirm that this is not your traditional North End eatery. Reservations are not accepted so come early and be prepared to wait.

The retro interior offers a convivial – if crowded – setting, with an excellent option for solo diners at the marble bar.
