The Oceanaire Seafood Room

The Oceanaire Seafood Room on Court Street is a sit-down seafood restaurant for a dinner you’ve planned ahead. Start with oysters, shrimp cocktail or a shellfish tower for the table. Crab cakes, sushi and crudo give you other ways to begin, and the wine list gives a group plenty to consider alongside the food.

The Boston location takes reservations and offers private dining for celebrations and business meals. Lunch is served on selected weekdays, so check the local schedule before arranging a midday visit. There’s also a separate bar-bites menu with items such as fish tacos and calamari. Government Center and State stations are nearby if you’re leaving the car at home.
