MARCH 2020
Housed right on the City by the Sea’s
thriving Thames Street, Midtown
Oyster Bar boasts not only some of
the freshest local catches around,
but also the area’s largest raw bar.
No matter your seafood craving —
whether it be calamari with banana
peppers, white wine and garlic butter,
tuna tartare tacos topped with
pineapple and tomatillo salsa,
blackened mahi-mahi or grilled
Norwegian salmon — Midtown’s
menu is well-equipped to satisfy.
As for atmosphere, the multi-level
establishment also features two
happening bar areas, including the
ground level tavern and the upstairs
bar, as well as a rooftop patio
overlooking the bustling street.
WHAT TO EAT: Of course, we’re going
to suggest that you order lobster
that’s poached in warm butter and
nestled in a toasted torpedo roll, but
if you’re in the mood for something
from the land, Midtown also has
yummy steak frites, French onion
soup, grilled pork cutlets and more.
WHO TO BRING: Either a new date
worth impressing or a group of old
friends with adventurous palates.
WHAT TO WEAR: Err on the side of
formal.
THE DRINK SITUATION: There are two
bars for a good reason: Midtown’s
wine and beer list is extensive. We’re
also huge fans of the cocktail
offerings, specifically the Fig and Fizz,
which is made with black fig vodka,
Yucatan honey shrub and prosecco.
INSIDER’S TIP: Midtown may be a
bigger space, but its popularity
causes it to fill quickly on a weekend
night. Consider reserving a spot on
OpenTable in advance.
