Always a nice experience at Dottys! Oysters and seafood never disappoint, service is attentive without being bothersome and the small dishes kill it.

I love dining at the Select Oyster Bar, they arguably have the best seafood in the city. The service is also excellent. The only issue I have is the noise level, it gets very loud when busy, especially in the back room. I wish they would try to address it.

We enjoyed an amazing meal at Ostra, and definitely recommend the oysters, crisp snow pea salad, salt crusted branzino, and 3-pound lobster.

New Bedford

About the restaurant

Serving fresh, bold and innovative food that reflects the history of New Bedford and celebrates the New Bedford fishermen, their catch and their culture.

Our menu focuses on local fishermen’s catch of the day, old school seafood favorites and a sprinkling of modern seafood interpretations. Menu ranges from raw bar, to warm and cold lobster rolls, baked cod, bacon wrapped scallops, bouillabaisse and grilled NY Strip.

Large bar and spectacular views of the artful New Bedford Fishing Fleet. Large covered and heated deck overlooking the fishing boats and harbor. Centrally located beside the Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket Ferries. Large parking lot.

And, of course, the hospitality is second to none. Service is what built the business.

First, phenomenal service. Our waiter, Fernando M. was friendly, attentive, helpful and so kind. He made the evening amazing. We will definitely request him for our next visit. The sole main courses were perfectly prepared. So tasty and great portions. Wine selection was stellar. Crème brûlée and banana fosters were amazing.
