Island Creek is a fun little pop up that's dog friendly! A cozy outdoor venue where you order at a counter and they bring it to you. The menus are QR codes, and have a decent selection of lite fare. No chowder on the menu, that I saw. But I was 6 or 7 bowls in for the day and a few bottles of wine as well, so I may have overlooked it.
Definitely a fun place to check out, swing by with some friends or your puppy today!
Great spot with a good atmosphere. Could use a little more shade, but they are making the best with what they have. Clam chowder waffle fries were great and the oysters were delicious. My only critique is that they need to clean up their shucking. They managed to retain most of the brine, but there were shell bits in most of them and they did not release the bottom on any of them.

Seriously, I don’t mind paying $3 per oyster but at least be consistent about the size. I had 3 small oysters and one puny little one that was also charged at $3. And it took half hour of wait to get it!

The AI conference opening night party was so fun, extended summer—Boston needs more spaces like this. Staff were great, wine list better than expected, amazing oysters and fish tacos tasty if a bit heavy.
One rec: add heaters and blankets to stretch the season past summer.

Pretty good oysters and other food here! Unfortunately they were out of sushi, but we tried a bunch of items—a couple of different kinds of oysters, and then some clam chowder + lobster bao bun from the row 34 truck. Nice venue and great open space for a nice day. They’ve got cups of water and don’t force you to buy bottled and it’s also dog friendly. I hope they stick around!
