Today we went to Island Creek Oyster Bar, which just opened last month. |
The restaurant is very spacious and has the sleek and modern decorations. |
This bread met our expectation! The butter had a hint of sweetness from honey that was added to it. So far so good. |
We ordered Beaujolais Nouveau that just arrived last week. |
At first, of course we ordered raw oysters. There were 12 different kinds of oysters in their menu, but tonight we selected Island Creek, Moon Shoal and Wellfleet, all of which were harvested here in Massachusetts. They were amazingly good! They had no fishy smells, but very rich flavor and matched very well with saltiness of sea water inside the shells. I think these were better than those we had in New Orleans. My favorite among three was Island Creek. |
This is "crispy cod cheeks". The meat was very fatty and moist. I can give it a high score. |
We also ordered fries. We were quite stuffed after eating all of these dishes. |
The dessert was "cider donuts" which came with the caramel sauce and apple cider. Simple, but tasty. I think this restaurant is as good as Neptune Oyster in North End. But this one may be more convenient as it has much wider space and also accepts reservations. We'll definitely come back to this restaurant! |
