And 1/2 way through eating he came by just to check on us! The ambiance was amazing as well, huge windows and right on the water.

We ended up going from Fenway Park to Neptune Oyster by taking the train. When we arrived, we saw there was a substantial line. We ended up waiting about 1 hour and 20 minutes. They make you stand in line outside the restaurant and have signs that say, "Please don't block the other business entrances" and "Please stand behind this sign." Meanwhile, I'm thinking this is 2026 and Yelp must have some sort of online or phone number check-in system where they could text you once your table is ready. But I think, selfishly enough, the restaurant does this so other people walking by notice the line, and it acts as good advertisement for them. Anyhow, we decided to try the lobster roll with fries, six oysters, the bluefin tuna crudo, and their "clam chowder." Yes, I put "clam chowder" in quotes because it was more of a soup than a traditional chowder. I could have gotten past the texture, but it had no flavor and, unfortunately, we had to send it back, which I don't think I've ever done at a restaurant before. The oysters and tuna were pretty good, and I enjoyed them. The lobster roll was also decent, but nothing that I would rave about. Maybe that's my fault because, again, they are not a lobster roll restaurant. It says it right in their name that they're an oyster restaurant, so partially my fault. I was guided by Yelp when I searched for lobster rolls and thought maybe they were known for them due to all the pictures posted on their Yelp page. Overall, I think it's a little overrated and not worth the wait and the $130 bill.

Food: the lomo saltado was cooked exactly medium with the tender juiciness being highlighted. The aroma of the onions really bring out the fragrance but the overall dish was lacking in flavor. It felt like stir fry beef and veggies (which it is) but the sauce could've been incorporated perhaps better. The Tacutacu is where it's at though. The "risotto" was basically mixed rice but the intense seafood flavors and the juicy tender fish really highlight the Peruvian flavor. It isn't exactly traditional but still yummy nonetheless. Ambience/Service/Decor: we sat at the bar and were served fairly quickly by the bartender. Cute little restaurant reminding me of a European Esq experience.

The combination of it being limited seating (it holds less than 20 people) and being a popular spot makes it quite hard to get in without a long wait, so I would recommend right when it opens. Food wise, we got the Squid Ink Pasta and Calamari. The calamari was the perfect combination of crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside, which I find a lot of restaurants don't do a great job of doing. The squid ink pasta was also delicious and on par with any quality Italian restaurants in NYC. I would come back again if I'm ever in the Boston area and want a nice Italian restaurant. Also this place is CASH ONLY so be prepared before coming.

I had a couple of IPAs with the meal, and the beer selection held up. Service was good throughout. Friendly, attentive, and well paced. The space has a good vibe with great music playing, which added to the experience. The bar which I sat at itself is large, but it does feel a little cramped. It could probably use a few fewer stools to open things up a bit. Overall, this is a solid and interesting spot in Teele Square. Good food, good drinks, and a place I would come back to.
