B&G Oysters - Boston

What happened to B&G? This was one of my go-to great seafood spots in town. Met up with a colleague from Shanghai and wanted to show off South End neighborhood gems. Turned out to be so disappointing with tiny portions given the price knocking on $40/dish ... the 'signature ' lobster roll was filled with mayo and celery, with bits of small legs and knuckles and couple of tail meat chunks (I counted! , with two big bites and the small hot-dog roll with barely any lobster meat is gone! The halibut was fresh but looks to be half-size of what it used to be. On a beautiful and warm summer-like Sunday evening to eat out and most tables were empty... so sad! What ever happened to the great old B&G? Sigh ....

All appetizers excellent calamari, Ipswich clams, oysters. Fish and chips, especially the fried fish, should be served straight from the fryer without sitting around to get soggy. Better to use same batter as the fried clams or calamari.

So lovely! I asked to move to a table from the bar if possible and when we arrived, our table was ready!

Fun last minute dinner for us. Unique ambiance, calamari was awesome, really enjoyed the watermelon burrata salad.

Favorite restaurant in Boston for seafood hands down
