B&G Oysters

B&G Oysters is a seafood restaurant at 550 Tremont Street in Boston's South End, in Massachusetts, United States. It is part of the neighbourhood's strong restaurant scene, set among the brick rowhouses and galleries of Tremont Street, and is known for its raw bar and its patio. The cuisine is contemporary New England seafood with a focus on oysters from the Atlantic coast, served raw with classic accompaniments, along with clams, shrimp, crab and other shellfish. The lobster roll is a signature, and the menu also includes fish entrees, small plates and seasonal dishes. The dining room is compact and stylish, with a marble-topped bar, and a lively, modern atmosphere. Dress is casual to smart casual. The beverage programme leans toward crisp white wines, sparkling wines, craft beers and cocktails chosen to pair with shellfish. Prices are in the upper-moderate range for Boston, with oysters priced individually, so a meal with a few oysters, a roll and a drink commonly lands in the range of several dozen dollars per person. Reservations are recommended, particularly for weekends and warm evenings when the patio is in demand, and walk-in seats at the bar are sometimes available. The restaurant serves dinner daily, with hours that vary by season. The South End location is a short walk from the Back Bay and Copley Square, and from the Orange Line at Back Bay or Tufts Medical Center stations, making it convenient for visitors staying elsewhere in the city.
