Eventide

Originally born in Portland, Maine, this sleek and stylish satellite eatery specializes in precisely what you’d expect from that part of the world: all things lobster. Juicy bites of the crave-worthy crustacean are piled high atop griddled buns—served warm in the brown butter lobster roll, or cold with dill and mayo. Either way, you’re about to bite into the city’s best lobster roll. And the other seafood selections are hardly any less sensational: Jonah Crab Toast, freshly shucked oysters, and, of course, chowdah. Pair it all with local craft drafts on a lively outdoor patio. But be forewarned—it’s first come, first serve around here, so come early lest you strike out looking.
