Mare Oyster Bar

Part of North End restaurateur Frank DePasquale’s local empire, Mare’s calling card is its crudo menu, best enjoyed on the sleek patio with fire pits and a retractable roof (making year-round alfresco dining possible). The kitchen preps a variety of Italian-accented seafood dishes. A handful of non-seafood options (chicken, pork, veal, steak) appeals to landlubbers.
