Made a reservation well in advance for an indoor table for Father's Day, but we were seated at the bar, which was not particularly comfortable and did not enhance the dining experience. Ordered one appetizer (outstanding hamachi) that came promptly and then waited an hour for our main dishes. Signature dish the roasted sea bream was cooked perfectly but lacked seasoning and the underlying vegetables were oily. For the prices they charge I expected better.

I know it was the weather but the back area was too hot and humid, need to improve air flow back there. Oh and it's loud, that should be pointed out because we invited work guests. We tried to have a conversation but it was impossible. Our waiter seemed annoyed at us from the start, maybe our sweating?? and actually told us we had to leave once we finished our food, no desert or after dinner drinks allowed I guess. Food was good though. Place has great reviews but this night it just didn't mesh with what we expected.

This was truly an outstanding meal. Oysters, clams, ceviche, etc. Seafood prepared in all different fashions, but all of it was fantastic. The highlight was likely a hamachi crudo. Also they had an incredible daiquiri on the menu. The indoor space is small and fairly crowded, but was very lively on this evening.

First they don't tell you that they sit you at the counter if you are a party of two. I booked a table for two to find myself in a super small counter seat, so small that i was constantly hitting my neighbor's elbow. Food was ok, oysters were not properly opened, food was poorly served, they sent one appetizer at a time, unacceptable for a place this expensive. Then they force you to pay a completely unjustified 20% tip. I will definitely not go back to this place

We found this on Open Table. Raced to make it there for a 9 PM reservation. We were a few minutes late and it was the last seating. The staff was outstanding and accomodating. The food was even better than we had hoped. The next day we spoke to some friends from Boston (we had driven up from Philadelphia and arrived just in time for dinner) and they all said. "we love that place" when we told them where we went. We agree and will be back the next time we head to Boston.

Overall I really enjoyed my dinner at Select Oyster Bar. My party and I sat at an outdoor table, which was a bit cramped but did the trick - So lovely to eat al fresco in the city on a warm summer night. I noticed on the website before I came that a 20% tip is added to every bill, which is always typically a signal to me that the service might not end up being great - In my experience, servers who don't need to work for their tips don't try as hard. My prediction was pretty spot on - Our waiter was totally disinterested in us and not enthusiastic at all. When I needed a refill I made a point to make direct eye contact with him a couple of times and he completely ignored me.. Kind of disappointing. Not outright rude, but not great. The food, however, was absolutely spectacular. Really top-notch, fresh seafood. Very pricey, but I think justified. And the ambience, decor and set-up of the inside is divine. Really swanky, sophisticated vibes. I will definitely go back. 4/5 stars.
