The Spanish Octopus,
Altogether our experience her was very good and we would come here again to try more things!
The lobster roll was everything I imagined it would be. The lobster perfectly buttered and the bread perfectly toasted. Each bite filled with absurd amounts of lobster, just how I like it. As a college student, it drained my bank account, but I would order it again.
We had the Spanish Octopus which was cooked perfectly, crispy exterior and creamy soft center. We also had the lobster clam bake which unfortunately had over cooked lobster. It was chewy and rubbery but was flavorful. It is the only reason we can’t give it 5 stars. The mackerel was phenomenal. Highly recommend to come give this a try.
I went with my aunt here early and waited for the restaurant to open.
However, we were not too impressed with the Neptune Johnnycake, it was an acquired taste and the taste of the caviar was masked by the cake and the cake was very dense (more of a personal matter as it is a popular dish).
Touted as one of the more expensive lobster rolls at 38$ and for good reason - fresh and good portions with a choice of salad vs fries (recommend salad as fries would make everything greasy). Also got a variety oysters and man do they know their stuff of how it tastes and where it comes from. I would've taken off one star off the ridiculously long wait time (1.5 - 3 hours) depending on size of party. I was solo and it still took 1.5 hours. I didn't take the star off because they have a call back option. You go and provide your phone number and you can go explore little Italy's portion of the Freedom Trail and come back for an amazing meal.
Good quality food if you’re willing to pay the price. The food is definitely not cheap, but you’re not going to be disappointed with the freshness of the seafood. We ordered a few oysters and clams as well as both variations of lobster rolls. We actually liked the mayo version over the buttered version. Surprised both of us too! Watch out for the wait here. If you’re pressed for time skip this place until you have time to wait at least 30 minutes.
There was no wait once open as we were seated immediately! Our server Adrianna, was a very warm and welcoming. She has a vast knowledge about the different dishes and offerings and can describe the foods in serious detail, as well as offer personal suggestions. Service was incredible as we ordered a lot of dishes to sample, the next course came out right on time after finishing one course!
and Maine Lobster Roll were amazing (fresh, perfectly seasoned, well presented, and perfectly cooked)!
The weeks leading up to my trip to Boston to visit a friend, all I could think about was ordering the warm lobster roll from Neptune Oyster. Sorry if I'm too mainstream. I told my friend that I flew to Boston for the lobster roll, not her. She thought I was joking, but I wasn't... I'm salivating just reflecting upon my experience at Neptune Oyster.
Welfleet Clam Chowder,
As many people mentioned, the place is really small and the wait can be ridiculous. However, I never felt cramped, despite being seated next to complete strangers. On the other hand, the wait is truly absurd, and although the food is absolutely delicious, I wouldn't say it's worth a 2.5 hour wait. My friends and I ended up wandering the streets and having some drinks at a bar to pass the time, but we were starving by the time we finally got the phone call.
