Brown butter lobster roll, oysters, chowder, and soft serve
"In Fenway Eventide's brown butter lobster roll puts a unique spin on the New England classic — the subtle addition of browned butter elevates the nostalgic lobster roll into something that stands on its own, a riff that helped put the Portland original on the map and now distinguishes its Boston outpost." - Todd Plummer
"This upscale New England oyster bar might not be the first place you think of for takeout and delivery, but the restaurant actually runs a brisk to-go business that is worth checking out for a fancy-ish night in. Eventide’s famous brown-butter lobster roll can be delivered, as well as other hits like its chile crisp wings with ranch dressing, a smoked tofu sandwich with roasted jalapeño mayo, and a crispy fried chicken katsu sandwich." - Erika Adams
"Hit Eventide in Fenway before a Sox game for excellent tuna tartare, a lobster roll in a bao bun, or a crispy fish sandwich with the best tartar sauce we’ve ever had. The oyster selection changes daily and often features multiple bivalves from points north like Maine and PEI, which is a nice change of pace from Island Creek and Moon Shoal. Finish your meal with a soft, cream-filled housemade whoopie pie, or take it to go for an emergency snack in case of a rain delay." - dan secatore, tanya edwards
"Eventide’s roll is only served one way, hot, and tossed in brown butter instead of the usual melted regular butter, giving it a wonderfully nutty taste that pairs perfectly with the neutral lobster meat. It’s also more of an appetizer — about four bites in total, served without any sides — but the more experimental path here works well. In a town that loves its traditions, Eventide’s lobster roll suggests that the original way is not the only right way." - Erika Adams
"Eventide serves white tablecloth-worthy seafood brought to you Chipotle-style in a bright space. The brown butter lobster roll is as good as you’ve heard, but it’s not the only thing you should be eating here. The chowder is made with big fat whole belly clams, the fried oyster bun is great, and you’ll have trouble slowing down on the the french fries once you start." - dan secatore, tanya edwards, valerie li stack
