The 27-seat bar will dominate the space, which seats 80 overall, in a leather- and wood-swathed room with an églomisé-style piece of back-painted glass depicting Boston Harbor. Also on the agenda: a 32-selection lineup of exclusively New England-made craft beers on draft. Neptune’s lobster roll is famous, so naturally Ross came up with a new one: This version is loaded with bacon, avocado, smoked-tomato aioli, and celery salad. Second of all, who cares? (Okay, we certainly wouldn’t have complained…) We will accept as consolation the presence of chef John Ross, formerly of the North End’s iconic Neptune Oyster, who will provide shareable, dressed-up pub food with a seafood focus. Photo providedįirst of all, it’s not on the waterfront. Neptune Oyster chef John Ross is headed to two seafood-focused restaurants at Encore Boston Harbor: Waterfront and the Oyster Bar. Food is served from 11:30 a.m. to 12 a.m. (Want more info? Head here.) Open Sunday through Thursday from 11:30 a.m to 1 a.m. The 450-seat room will also offer “a seductive atmosphere against the backdrop of Boston’s skyline.” Woo us, baby.

At Mystique, expect Japanese-inspired cuisine that makes good use of a robata grill, wok-fried dishes, street noodles, sushi, and other elevated-izakaya offerings. Photos courtesy of Big Night Entertainment GroupĪlthough executive chef Anthony Micari and sushi chef Tony Mai were imported from Miami’s acclaimed Makoto, Mystique is actually the latest homegrown venture from the folks at Big Night Entertainment Group, one of Boston’s biggest restaurant-nightlife portfolios. Big Night already has experience in the somewhat-local casino-resort space: They have venues at Foxwoods, including a location of their Back Bay-founded Red Lantern restaurant.
