    The food was really good. We had fresh oysters, clam chowder, sea scallops, fried clams, and Boston creme pie. The server even brought us a serving of cornbread while we were waiting for the food to arrive. Outstanding all around. The booth was a little tight, but hey, its the oldest restaurant in the US, so maybe folks were smaller back then. :-)

    This is my 4th time to Mare and it never disappoints. I have been there for my anniversary, night out with my wife, and business and it is a perfect location for any occasion. There are so many restaurants in the NEnd and it can be hard to standout but Mare is unique from all the other N.End Italian restaurants. Seafood centric but not just, it has something for everyone. It isn't your checkered cloth, red sauce, restaurant so if that's what you want you will find a couple dozen other spots that would fit the bill down the street. But if you are looking for some of the best seafood fused with Italian cuisine, great drinks, a broad wine list across multiple price points, cool vibes, and intimate dining experience with terrific staff then this is your place. I highly recommend

    Estella is my favorite downtown spot. Between the music the food and the staff it's always fun, I came in with my friend and we got the thai style calamari for an app so good, came out fresh and hot. My main course i got the rasta pasta with oxtail it was to die for, the pasta tasted home made and fresh the oxtail melted in my mouth 10/10. I ordered a mango mami for my cocktail, it was AMAZZINGGGG i recommend coming if you haven't been !
