Mare Oyster Bar

Our favorite dinner we had in Boston hands down! Best blend of seafood and Italian - and my mom is 100% Italian. Highly recommend for a great dinner, date or celebration!

The service people are very nice, but the food took a long time and my real shop was beyond well done. Others were very happy with their dinners. And it's a cool north end spot that I've never been before. Probably will give it another shot.

Great pre-dinner cocktail with an engaging bartender. Dinner went down hill from there despite an attentive waiter. Fried clams appetizer consisted of small tasteless baby clams. Main courses of a seafood medley and wild boar over pasta. Both were small portions and just ok.

Dinner was fine. The room we dined in was a bit cold and two items I asked for on the menu were not available.

Great experience. Table was immediately ready - service was quick. We had our first drinks and entrees in less than 30 minutes. The fires outside were really warm and a nice touch.

Everything was fantastic. We got a few different apps and split the cacio pepe with truffles. Not only was it made table-side, but it was also out of this world. I would highly recommend Mare to anyone who is looking for a spot in the North End.

Great time visiting during the holidays, came across this hidden gem which was open during thanksgiving and did not disappointed. Food was excellent and service exceeded the expectations! Our server was very friendly, Juan made sure to explain and recommend dishes to make sure our dinning experience was perfect! Love the outdoor fire pits. Excellent place overall.

So happy with MARE. Had been to North End for may years and never eaten there. We all had such a great Thanksgiving there.Will be back.

Fantastic dining experience! The finishing personal touches separate Mare from other North End Restaurants!

It is a nice restaurant for business meetings as well as for cozy dates. I will not recommend for families with kids becuase there was not a lot of space. Food is good and tasty.

Great restaurant all around. We went for my wife's birthday and I couldn't have asked for a better spot. The wine selection was amazing. We got the fried calamari, shrimp and scallops. Mussels in white wine sauce. A few oysters and the boar bolognese. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back to try out some of the other menu items! Couldn't recommend this restaurant any more.

The food was awful. Our seafood was expired and bad. When we talked to the manager, he said he brought it up to the chef and despite it being molded and cold, the chef said it was fine. The servers were awful.

Probably the best North End experience I've ever had. Food was amazing. Service incredible. Overall outstanding. Have recommended to others and will definitely be back!

Picked this at last minute because of convenience to hotel. It should come highly recommended!! The oyster selection was nice and ours were ice cold and wonderful - our food was hot and perfectly seasoned - not to mention visual masterpieces. It was fun watching the table side cacio de Pepe get made (I really wanted... but we were late in day and flights in am -and old -so didn't trust our guts! Next time!!

Halibut was dry and overcooked. Salmon was fishy. Service was very good , fast and attentive .
