Best Oyster Bars in Rockland

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

Great meal and service. Thanks for hosting us, we couldn’t have had a better time. Food was delicious and service was attentive and well timed.

Really delicious small plates and the buttered lobster toast is amazing!

Food was wonderful especially the sides (brussel sprouts and carrots were our favs). Had the pasta, risotto and ribeye. The ribeye was the weakest of the entrees. Pricey but one of the better dining options in Cambridge.

It was a great time and all the food was absolutely delicious but they should invest in portable outdoor heaters and if they serve lobster (which that smoky flavor was delicious)they should offer butter too) but over all it was a great experience. And I would absolutely recommend it and I would go again.
