We ate here last week and had a great dinner and great time! The food is so fresh and excellent. The Oysters were delicious that we started with as well as the calamari. We had their Spicy Bay Scallop Ramen which is out of this world! We also ordered the brown butter lobster roll which is one of the best lobster rolls I have ever had as well as thier kimchi. My daughter had their Smoked Tofu Sandwich which she said is one of the best sandwiches she has ever had. We finished with their Brown Butter Soft Serve that is so good. There is something for everyone here. The ambiance is lively and fun and I am sure once the Red Sox open up this place will be packed. If you have not tried Eventide yet you are missing out! read more

Great experience dining at Eventide-Fenway today for lunch. Our waiter, Harry was exceptional and truly went above and beyond, handling our large party of 10 with warmth, professionalism and ease. We had a celebratory family lunch at Eventide today. The restaurant was clean, open, had a nice ambiance. We were greeted warm upon arrival by our waiter Harry, and there was no issue with 3 sections of our group arriving at slightly different times. Harry brought food and drink menus and brought drinks- once two members of our party tried the peach tumeric iced tea- Harry was asked to fetch 3 more! The menu had variety with something for everyone. Half of the table enjoyed oysters to start- we were delighted to see Joly oysters on the menu from my parent's neighbors in Dennis (Cape Cod). We also shared two orders of the salmon tartar crispy rice appetizer- my mom and my favorite savory component of the meal! I really enjoyed my fish sandwich- well prepared, great ratio of pickles and slaw to fish and bun. The rest of the party ordered the famous brown butter lobster buns, more fish sandwiches, a burger and two orders of their spicy scallop ramen. 3 sides of fries ($4) were more than enough for everyone to share, the fries were crispy, well seasoned and a generous portion. Another highlight of the meal was for the person we were celebrating, our divine waiter Harry brought 3 soft serves- two Brown Butter Soft Serve · $8 (Maple Candied Pecans, Bourbon Caramel) and one Brown Sugar Chocolate Soft Serve · $8 (Peanut Tahini, Ritz-Style Crackers) We were brought bowls and spoons for everyone to taste. The soft serve was AMAZING. Healthy debate over which flavor was better- I was very partial to the chocolate soft serve with peanut tahini, my mom preferred the maple candied pecan bourbon caramel. While we could not reach a consensus of which flavor was better, everyone agreed the soft serve was expetional- incredibly delicious and satisfying texture. I would 100% dine at Eventide again! (Few photos due to being with family, but soft serve had to be captured!) read more

Eventide The building is clean and has a pretty, modern interior. Customer service was fine nothing particularly warm, but not rude either, just neutral. We came on a Friday around 5 p.m., and the restaurant was surprisingly empty with only two other tables occupied. We didn't have a reservation but were seated quickly. However, booths are only available if you have a prior reservation. I ordered the lobster stew ($23), which was very small about 8 ounces. Flavor-wise, it was good: lots of mushrooms, a few large chunks of lobster, and a taste closer to coconut curry rather than tomato. It's not creamy, which I didn't mind, but the portion felt extremely small for the price. I'd estimate there was about one ounce (or less) of lobster. We also tried the clam chowder ($17 for 8 ounces). This was very liquid and not creamy at all, tasting mostly like potatoes which there were plenty of. We found only one whole clam; I expected diced clams, so that was disappointing. One thing that really stood out was the automatic 5% charge added to the bill, regardless of group size or order amount. The receipt states this goes toward adjusting kitchen staff wages. On top of that, you're still expected to tip your server, which is fine but combined with the extra charge, it didn't feel justified given the portion sizes and overall experience. Paying $23 for essentially lobster broth doesn't make the added fee feel reasonable. Lastly, parking is not easy to find near this location. read more

Spectacular food, though not spectacular prices. We were lucky to stay nearby and our group couldn't decide on what to eat for lunch so I took full advantage of the opportunity to pitch Eventide's lobster rolls. And it damn worked. We all loved the food here. The raw oysters were so fresh and succulent that we decided to do another round. Our server, Chase, was very knowledgeable about the notes of most of the oysters and didn't pretend to know anything he wasn't sure of and called his manager for clarity, which was very much appreciated. I had the Eventide Brown Butter Lobster Roll, which, admittedly, I was surprised by its small size, but it ended up being just right. The lobster chunks were scrumptious and fresh, but $22 price tag was definitely very steep for a small roll that didn't come with a side. The value equation is the only reason I took a star away. I had the Roasted Banana Serve too, which was delicious ice cream and reminded me a lot of nice cream. The food is definitely nice but I wouldn't come here on an empty stomach and expect to leave full--unless I really wanted to. read more

A solid fast casual restaurant. The fish sandwich was good and the soft serve always hits the spot. Service is friendly and efficient. A little on the expensive side for this type of cuisine but not outrageous. read more

I really really like Eventide. We were at their Portland ME location a few years ago and the Fenway location continues the same quality. Although some might criticize the small size of the lobster rolls they are really crest and good. The clam chowder is not as thick as a lot of chowders but i like a thinner chowder. The oysters are fresh and tasty. The onion ice was a nice addition as well as their mignonette. read more

I'm a huge lobster roll fan, and my favorite lobster rolls in the country are from Eventide in Portland, Maine. I recently took my mom to Boston so she could experience the Eventide lobster roll at the Boston location, and it exceeded expectations. I especially want to recognize the male host who went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make my mom's first trip to Boston feel memorable and special. His kindness and attention made the experience unforgettable. Thank you to the Eventide team for a wonderful meal and an even better memory. This really meant a lot. read more

Super casual restaurant, it's not very big so I assume it will get busy during peak hours. I went for an early dinner around 5 so there were only a few people in there. I sat by the counter and got a pumpkin beer, it was rimmed with cinnamon, so good! I started with some oysters, they had a lot to pick from so I asked for the waitress recommendation, happy hour you basically get double the oysters! Comes with two toppings. For entree I go the lobster roll (it's not big but the flavors are amazing, bread is nice and soft. Loved it!). And the clam chowder, it's a different type, it's thin, but the flavors are also delicious! Overall I enjoyed my meal and if I was in town again I would come back! read more

While exploring Boston, we decided to stop at Eventide - Fenway for lunch. It is located in downtown Boston next to Fenway Park! This area reminds me a lot of San Francisco minus the homeless people and weird smells. We were greeted and seated right away and I liked how open the inside was with lots of natural lighting. We decided to split the Eventide Brown Butter Lobster Roll, Calamari and an order of Fries. We also ordered some drinks including the Oyster Shooters - Bloody Mary with Tequila. We really enjoyed our drinks and the Calamari and Fries (some of the best we had during this trip) - the Lobster Roll was actually better without the bread which I thought was weird, but it took away from the taste of the actual lobster. Overall, staff were friendly and attentive. The food was not the best we had in Boston, but it worked for a quick bite while we were sightseeing. Not sure I would be back, but check them out for yourself! read more

REALLY good oysters, wow it was super fresh. The place itself is like half bar half restaurant, so it's chill for a casual date or a hangout. The waiters themselves is amazing, they were so patients when I took my time to order, and they even helped me orders when I was confused. Overall, I recommend trying all 10 of the oysters kind alongside the cocktail sauces, super fresh and super juicy read more

Came in here to try the brown butter lobster roll and the clam chowder before leaving town for the day. I would def come back for the lobster roll. The clam chowder was different from what I'm used to but still good. I don't care for the cracker they give with the clam chowder. Kind of stale. Overall experience was good. The service was quick and attentive. read more

Had an awesome experience at Eventide in Fenway! The oyster bar offers a great selection of fresh, tasty oysters, and the drinks are fantastic. We tried the chicken sandwich, fish sandwich, lobster roll, and chowder--all flavorful and well-made. With direct views of Fenway Park, it's the perfect place to eat before a Red Sox game. Lively atmosphere, great food, and great location--highly recommend! read more

Good to stop in and grab quick bites last minute. Emphasis on the bites. They are small but flavorful. Wouldn't recommend for a full sit down meal. Fries and chicken bun were good. Would have loved a little more chicken. Service was simple and quick. Clean interior and very close to Fenway. Quiet inside. read more

Thought the lobster roll was alright. The lobster itself was great and flavored nicely. The roll was soft and didn't really do anything for the dish - I wish it was toasted or something. The clam chowder was a bit runny and had a weird after taste I can't really put my finger on. The inside is cute though and has plenty of seating. The food comes out relatively quick and the workers are nice. read more

Best. Lobster. Roll. EVER. I'm not even exaggerating--this was life-changing. I'm still dreaming about it and honestly considered booking a return trip to Boston just for another bite. It was that good. The portion was perfect--generous, but not overwhelming--and the flavor? Unreal. Sweet, salty, buttery, slightly spicy... somehow all the above in the best possible way. Every bite was tender, rich, and perfectly balanced. I was literally salivating writing this review. Nothing else we ordered really blew me away (everything else was pretty meh, to be honest), but the lobster roll alone made the visit so worth it. If you come here, don't even think--just order it. read more

Eventide is great for Oysters, and drinks. Most of the other items we ordered didn't do it for me. Great, would get again: - Oysters: We had a half-dozen sampler with mignonette & cocktail sauce. This was the highlight of our meal and a reason to return in the summer. - Bluefin Tuna Crudo: great - Green Salad: Really good and interesting for a salad. OK: - The Eventide Brown Butter Lobster Roll: too buttery for me but lots of people love this. - Fried Oyster Bun - Brown Butter Soft Serve - Whoopie Pie Would not get again: - Steamers: these were too sandy read more

Eventide was such a cute little spot we stumbled by in Boston! I found a TikTok mentioning that they had the best Lobster roll in MA, and there was no way I could visit without trying it out! We didn't have a reservation so we had to sit at the bar, but it had a nice view of the city. Server was friendly and patient with us! Inside was decorated very modernly and colorful, really liked the vibe! Lobster roll bun reminded me of a steamed bun, was so fluffy and delicious, and the lobster was buttery and delightful. They're not huge rolls, but are filled pretty generously! Would love to come back when we are in town! read more

Eventide - Fenway - Eventide Brown Butter Lobster Roll - Seafood Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

VERY SMALL!! Stopped in for lunch on a weekend with a reservation, though it turned out to be unnecessary- we were one of only two tables. The service was friendly and attentive. We tried the Eventide Brown Butter Lobster Roll and the Hot Chicken Bun. The lobster roll is easily one of the best in the Boston area, with brown butter adding a rich, slightly nutty depth of flavor. The bun is sweet, and the lobster is perfectly cooked. The Hot Chicken Bun was also excellent, with every ingredient standing out on its own. The biggest drawback? The portions. These rolls are tiny- think half a rolled-up set of silverware. What you see on top is all you get, as there's nothing inside the bun. You'd need at least three to feel satisfied, making it more of an appetizer than a full meal. While the food is undeniably delicious, expect to pay a premium if you want to leave full. read more

I ordered a lobster roll for my mother and myself, and I could not believe what they cooked up. It was not tasty and it was in some sort of strange roll. I can't remember the name. I will never go back there again. read more

The food was incredible. The lobster roll was one of the best I've ever had. The bread was almost like a bao bun and the brown butter miso on the lobster was to die for. The fish charcuterie board was super unique but super great flavors. Absolutely loved it. The restaurant itself is super clean and well decorated. I love how many plants there were all over the restaurant . They had some music on and I enjoyed the selection and the volume. The server was super nice and checked in on us a couple times.

Service was great. The lobster roll on the other hand was the worst. I ordered a hot one which I'd never had. I'd only had cold but the hot one was recommended. I couldn't even eat it. The oysters were great but couldn't get the bad flavor of the lobster roll out of my mouth. Prices are pretty much inline with the other places in the area. I probably wouldn't go back. read more

Came here as a group of five for dinner on a weekday and we were very quickly seated without a reservation. The restaurant space has plenty of seating and I was honestly expecting it to be more crowded than it was. Service was very attentive and welcoming! I shared that I had a gluten allergy and needed to avoid cross-contamination and I felt reassured that this restaurant was familiar with taking the appropriate safety precautions. I arrived already knowing what I was going to order after hearing so much about Eventide's famous lobster roll. I definitely don't regret ordering it, but the portion was truly so much smaller than I expected, even though I already had lowered my expectations given the price ($22), which is definitely on the lower end of the spectrum for lobster rolls... I enjoyed the taste of the lobster roll and I also appreciated how it was presented completely separately on a different plate, given my allergy. This was the first time that I had a lobster roll where there texture of the bun truly reminded me of a Chinese "mantou" or steamed bun. It was very light, fluffy yet chewy, and surprisingly held its shape under the lobster. However, the picture that I took definitely makes the roll look bigger than it actually was, so just take this as your written warning lol. If you end up going for the lobster roll, which I do think is worth trying at least once, I'd recommend ordering another small entree or appetizer as a supplement! My friends also tried some of their other sandwiches (hot chicken bun and their fried chicken katsu sandwich), which they all said were pretty tasty. Eventide's menu is honestly pretty expansive and they have a wide variety of items on their dinner menu to order from and I think their prices are pretty fair! read more

An ideal location if you're a tourist wanting a lobster roll and then you can walk to Fenway. Be aware this is not a hoagie style lobster roll restaurant. It's a petite lobster roll and a bao bun, which you may be still hungry afterwards, but it was a perfect portion for myself. The service was really attentive and they described all of the oysters that were available.Super fresh! read more

Sat at the bar, got served in record time and was presented with this cute lobster roll and a bag of fries. Looks snack-sized and tastes like brown butter magic.

I live in Maine and know Eventide in Portland very well; visit as often as we can... Family trip to Boston where we stopped at Fenway Eventide was excellent: shared oysters on the half shell, clam chowda, oyster rolls, burgers, chicken rolls fish nuggets and of course Maine Whoopie pies for dessert. Our server was very sweet, attentive and made sure the kids and us grown up kids were well taken care of creating our drinks to match the Shirley Temples ordered. read more

Very disappointed in the food, not sure what or who's behind those positive online reviews... Lobster rolls were approx. 6" (possibly larger than Mickey D's...), nothing special tastewise and yet still cost +$20.00. I had THE worst fish & chips of my life: the fish consisted of one LOG (NOT a filet) of scrod featuring a thick coating of flavorless breading and the potato wedges probably have potential but were fried in fishy-smelling oil that seemed ripe to be changed. Saving grace was the side order of cole slaw, light mayo sauce with celery seeds. French fries at my table were INconsistent - some orders had long, nicely herbed full fries, but others were composed of short, crusty bits of fries from the bottom of the fryer basket - which should NEVER be brought to a customer's table! Service was good, but Eventide has work to do to reach it's potential. read more

The main reason to go here is the oysters. Best oysters, hands down, these are absolutely worth it. The tuna crudo is wonderful, the brown butter lobster roll is a must have (it's small, which is why it's half the price of what you'll find elsewhere). The new clam chowder is experimental and a miss. The cocktails are varied and also experimental - some work, some don't, but that's down to personal taste. The service is excellent and the space is comfortable, though could use a bit of uplifting, it's just short of a diner vibe. read more
