Eventide Fenway

"This is the Boston sibling to Portland, Maine’s popular Eventide Oyster Co., and you’ve probably already heard that you should try the brown butter lobster roll. You should, and follow it up with brown butter soft serve." - Celina Colby

"Like its older sibling in Portland — one of the many stellar restaurants in the Maine seaside city — Eventide Fenway focuses on fresh seafood. While it may be tempting to just stick to the oft-changing selection of oysters and classics like the brown butter lobster roll, do dive into the New England clam chowder. The classic recipe is kicked up a notch with salt pork, and saltines add just the right crunch." - Erika Adams

"The lobster roll is one of New England’s iconic dishes and it’s almost always off limits for gluten-free diners. At Eventide Fenway, their highly acclaimed brown butter lobster roll (and any of their other sandwiches) can be had with a gluten-free bun. Fries are gluten-free safe and there’s an extensive raw bar menu to enjoy as well." - Celina Colby

"This upscale New England oyster bar might not be the first place you think of for takeout and delivery, but the restaurant actually runs a brisk to-go business that is worth checking out for a fancy-ish night in. Eventide’s famous brown-butter lobster roll can be delivered, as well as other hits like its chile crisp wings with ranch dressing, a smoked tofu sandwich with roasted jalapeño mayo, and a crispy fried chicken katsu sandwich." - Erika Adams

"Hit Eventide in Fenway before a Sox game for excellent tuna tartare, a lobster roll in a bao bun, or a crispy fish sandwich with the best tartar sauce we’ve ever had. The oyster selection changes daily and often features multiple bivalves from points north like Maine and PEI, which is a nice change of pace from Island Creek and Moon Shoal. Finish your meal with a soft, cream-filled housemade whoopie pie, or take it to go for an emergency snack in case of a rain delay." - dan secatore, tanya edwards
