B&G Oysters

A spanking fresh raw bar and casual South End scene make B&G Oysters a good choice for gourmet versions of New England specialties. From fried Ipswich clams to buttery lobster rolls and the to-die-for lobster BLT, the food is fresh, well prepared and served by a gracious, attentive staff. The restaurant sits in a chic subterranean space in the heart of the Tremont Street restaurant row and boasts an open kitchen, a minimalist design and a pretty backyard patio. Although B&G’s pint-sized space tends to fill quickly, the long rectangular bar provides plenty of extra spots for singles or couples who don’t mind dining side-by-side. (A corner seat at the bar will work for parties of three as well.)
