BRIAN'S 100 Best '16

100 BEST ’16: OYSTERS at ZADIE’S OYSTER ROOM

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016…

SADLY, ZADIE’S OYSTER BAR IS NOW CLOSED.

What used to be a little wine bar called Terroir has transformed into a temple for oysters, oysters, and more oysters. The bivalves are available in all forms – I really loved the baked oysters with seaweed butter, prosciutto pieces, and shaved eggs. Take that Oysters Rockefeller! But if raw, fried, or pickled is your thing, those are available here and all with fresh curated varieties. Oh and there’s still plenty of wine. Price: $9.75
