Reviews for Select Oyster Bar in Boston, MA
Amazing spot in the back bay! Food was absolutely fabulous as was the service. We started with the octopus, mussels,... cauliflower, and for dinner we had the black bass special (soooo delicious), sea bream, and bouillabaisse. Everything was soflavorful and interesting. Our server was Alejandro and we was fantastic and so professional. Loved this place and woulddefinitely come back when back in boston. Read more
Pricey but really good. This octopus dish is one of the best! You have to like cilantro though. Little neck clams were... really good. Salmon crudo was amazing. Read more
Made a reservation. I was seated at the bar. Bar staff was friendly. Explained everything to me. I don’t mess around when I... eat out of town! I order the Gloucester—just for myself. I ate it all. I will review the items from my favorite to my leastfavorite. Even though the last is the last, it was still damn good. #1 oysters. Bing bong! So good. The hot sauce is hot. I likehot. My lips are still numb. Next the crab salad. So good. Then the salmon crudo, lobster salad, and finally the shrimp. Reallyfun. Great experience. You’ll like it. Read more
No reservation but Ben our server slid us into the community table at the front and provided excellent conversation, suggestions... and service. We tried a few of each oyster they were about 3.50-4 bucks a pop but worth it i would suggest the first and lastoysters on the list they seemed to be the meatiest. I’ve never had a lobster roll either and this was one of the freshestseafood items I had ever enjoyed. The house made chips were AWESOME. Super light and crispy and not oily at all. Also shared theyellowfin tuna appetizer which was delicious and I never thought I’d enjoy caviar but it melted in your mouth. The cocktailswere refreshing on a muggy night after a rain fall. A really enjoyable night with old friends complimented with excellent foodand service. Will definitely return next time I am in the Back bay area. Read more
Blown away by this eclectic, fantastic, and modern restaurant. The food is presentation and taste. The food is unbelievable.... Bryant was our server and he was absolutely amazing. We started off with drinks which were spectacular. Our appetizers were anabsolute delight - the tuna tartare was fresh and amazing, the crab salad gives you more bang for your buck than any other placeI know. The showstopper was the beet salad - a explosion of colors and taste! The halibut and char were so well presented.Compliments to the chef and this wonderful restaurant that we will put on our “come back again” list!!! Read more
Food is outstanding, we ate many oysters. Good experience overall but a few complaints: 1) We made reservations but were... forced to sit at the bar instead of allowed a table. 2) A 3% covid operations fee is added to the total bill. The prices arealready high and the restaurant is cramped. To the restaurant: If you're not satisfied with your margins you could increase yourprice instead of the surprise fee. With that being said, I will definitely be back because the food is top notch. Read more
Very high quality oyster bar in Back Bay Area right across from Hynes Conference Center that’s worth a visit for lunch or... dinner. For us, they had a very nice selection of 7 oysters local and otherwise that were all really exceptionally fresh. Thecrab legs were quite average so would skip it next time and just opt for the crab salad which was really excellent. Being an unilover, I was partial to the uni toast but it was really just some very fresh uni on top of a baguette without any otheraccoutrements (bit overpriced but I’m not too mad). The salmon crudo is superb. Not pictured are the grilled octopus which isa must order, and the clam and chorizo stew which was just the hearty dish you’d want for a cold Boston day. Our colleagueordered the halibut as the main and was relatively satisfied with it but in all honesty, you might be quite well off justsplitting a ton of oysters and other raw items. Nice and intimate sit down area in the back for larger parties and overallservice was very friendly and timely. Would certainly come back. Read more
We did a reservation. The place is nice inside, however what I liked the most are the tables outside and I was able to come with... my puppy. We ordered oysters, pulp and beet salad. All was just delicious! Oysters extremely fresh and the pulp had an uniquetaste. You will feel welcomed and very well served by your waitress. They are very kind, fun and provide high service. I regretthat they do not have coffee nor dessert. Food was a great experience but I just like the whole package. 100% recommended. Read more
