I still have a couple Boston eats to catch up on. That Boston hockey weekend flew by and before I knew it, it was time to head home. But before heading to the airport, I stopped by Neptune Oyster for a seafood lunch.
Lunch
It was Monday and I was able to grab a corner seat at the white marble bar after standing around for only a few minutes.
Monday
I was ready for some oysters and wine!

I started off with a glass of Riesling.

You’re handed a list of the day’s raw bar selection. Just write down how many you want and if you would like cocktail sauce, mignonette, or both. I went with a few Kumamoto oysters (my favorite!), a few Fanny Bays, and a couple Cherrystone Clams.
Oyster Selection
You can watch them shuck and prepare everything near the large window.
Shucking Away
The oysters were crisp, clean, and delicious.
Super Fresh
The Kumamoto oysters were mild with a honeydew finish. Love them!
West Coast
The clams were juicy and sweet.
Cherrystone Clams
I ordered another glass of wine before ordering my main dish. It was an Albariño from Spain.
One More Glass
The daily special, lobster spaghettini, looked really good, but I had to try the Maine Lobster Roll. You can get it hot with butter or cold with mayo. I went with the hot version.
Maine Lobster Roll
The lobster meat was incredibly tender and sweet. It was all coated in warm butter and served in a toasted brioche bun. So simple, but so good.
Hot with Butter
It came with freshly made fries and ketchup on the side.
French Fries
Lunch was a hit. The oysters and clams were exquisite, the lobster roll was delicious, and the wine was fabulous. Service was friendly and the place was bright, lively, and cozy. So glad I had the chance to eat at Neptune Oyster before heading to the airport.
