3 Restaurants to try in Boston
On a recent trip to Boston, I had some of the best dinners! Whether you’re visiting or you live there, these places are so great you have to try them!
1. Old Creek Oyster Bar
The ambiance is rustically adorable and cocktails are a must. Try at least one of their homemade drinks. The specialty cocktail menu changes daily.

Oh and Dear Old Creek Oyster Bar, bring back the Strawberry Shortcake Donut (hopefully someone up there will read this)!!
2. The Salty Pig

This menu is more adventurous. When I first looked at it, I got a little nervous about what to order. It’s like a charcuterie meets Italian restaurant. Confusing, right? Start with building your own charcuterie plate, 3 steps:
- Salty Pig Parts – pick your meat selection. The Saucission Sec Salami was good and the Pig Head Mortadella was ok, think it was more mental on the name of that meat.
- Stinky Cheese – pick your cheese. I love all cheese but I highly recommend the Crottin, Vermont Creamery Goat Cheese and the Campo de Montalban.
- Round Out The Plate – pick your compliments. You can’t go wrong with the Vermont Wildflower Honey and the Fig Jam Jalapeno Jelly. Olives, take them or leave them.

This restaurant is smaller and has limited seating but they have a great outdoor patio that could be enjoyed on the right evening.

3. Row 34
After a few days in Boston, my heart was set on ending the trip with a lobster roll. The warm buttered lobster roll on the menu was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you ROW 34 for making my dreams come true. If you ever have the option for a warm buttered lobster roll, take it and don’t look back. You won’t regret it. I highly recommend getting the Steamed Mussels with red curry and cilantro. This was a different sauce than the mussels I’ve had before but it was delightfully different with a little bit of a kick.
The decor at ROW 34 is more contemporary and industrial but another great spot. The entrees are smaller portions so if you’re really hungry, look at adding some sides to your order. The rolls on the menu will be plenty of food.
My motto….
