Little Whale Oyster Bar

Fresh oysters are the centerpiece, with pristine, well-shucked local oysters guests call some of the best in Boston. Standouts also include the blue crab tagliatelle with brown butter and sage, the Maine lobster roll, hamachi crudo and Ipswich fried clams.

There is a deal on local oysters at 2 dollars each with the purchase of a beverage, which guests recommend pairing with a quick oyster and wine visit. Check with the restaurant for current availability of the offer.

Monday through Thursday and Sunday hours are 11:30 AM to 9:30 PM, and Friday and Saturday hours are 11:30 AM to 10:30 PM. It is open seven days a week.

The bar serves beer and wine only, with no hard liquor, plus champagne options at fair prices. It is a long narrow room with a bar and one row of tables, so reservations are recommended since it is a small space.

Yes, a 20 percent pre-tax gratuity and a 3 percent operations fee are included on all checks. Patio seating is weather dependent, and e-gift cards are available.
