North Square Oyster
Boston
Classic dishes freshly conceived.
If you want to impress a lunch date, you can hardly do better than the triple-decker shellfish tower at North Square Oyster. Adding three crudos of choice, an ounce of caviar, a king crab and two half-lobsters to its rows of oysters, littlenecks and shrimp, the dish is a thing of beauty. But it isn’t the only star on the seafood restaurant’s menu: There’s tuna poke with seaweed, a clam chowder boule with house-made kombucha sourdough and fat lobster rolls, cold or hot. It’s all familiar, but newly conceived. Overlooking the oldest public square in America, North Square Oyster is just north of Boston’s financial district, and wealth managers, securities traders and insurance execs are among those clamoring for its lunch reservations. What’s better than fresh seafood in a historic New England location?
