    Went to the Shuckery before heading to a concert at the Mystic Theatre. The Shuckery's lively dining area was a nice opening act. The cod arancini special was delish! The oysters were super fresh and the food is always amazing.

    Street Social always delivers exactly what we hope for: creative seasonal cuisine that's as visually stunning as it is delicious. The thoughtfully curated menu strikes the perfect balance between small and large plates, allowing lots of choices and opportunities to try new things. Our recent visit showcased the kitchen's impressive range and technical precision. We started with a refreshing strawberry gazpacho that beautifully captured the essence of the season, followed by inventive potato and cheese churros that elevated a simple concept into something extraordinary, perfect crisp outside soft inside a salty delight. The Caesar salad was a masterclass in balance—perfectly dressed and expertly composed. The pork porterhouse was cooked to absolute perfection, juicy and seasoned precisely for balance. Our friends were equally impressed with their selections: bacon-wrapped sweetbreads that showed remarkable technique, creative ube dumplings that surprised and delighted, and a crab dish that highlighted the restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients. Every single plate was completely finished—not a drop or crumb remained. This speaks volumes about both the exceptional flavors and thoughtful portion sizing. The seasonal menu approach keeps the dining experience fresh and dynamic, giving food lovers compelling reasons to return throughout the year. This is the rare establishment where creative vision meets flawless execution, resulting in meals that linger in your memory long after the last bite. We have been here more than 50 times and we love it every time.
