If you are a lover of seafood and are a raw oyster enthusiast, you cannot go wrong with Island Creek Oyster Bar. For our 12th wedding anniversary, a repeat visit to my favorite restaurant in Boston was planned. Service is friendly, impeccable - with some heartwarming touches. Check out the menu which are printed daily to capture the specials. Last time I visited, I commented on how delicious the butter was - blended with sea salt, paprika and honey. When we left, everyone in our party received a goody bag - inside was the butter recipe card with a jar of local honey and sachets of the sea salt and paprika!
I am not a huge fan of very briny, strong-tasting raw oysters and luckily, Island Creek oysters are totally opposite - buttery and mild. We started with a dozen of Island Creeks and a few sweet raw clams to start. The standout entrée was the lobster roe noodles with braised short rib, grilled lobster, mushrooms and pecorino. If you love seafood and are in town, let me take you to Island Creek!
